Campylobacter  is a major food-borne pathogen in humans, and previous studies reported a high prevalence of gentamicin-resistant  Campylobacter  isolates from food-producing animals in China. This study aimed to investigate the aminoglycoside resistance of  Campylobacter  isolated from chicken and swine in Jiangsu province, China and understand the possible mechanisms responsible for aminoglycoside resistance. One hundred and eighty-five  Campylobacter  isolates of chicken and swine origins in 2017 and 2018 were analyzed for gentamicin and kanamycin resistance. Some aminoglycoside resistance genes were selected for PCR detection in all strains. The genomic DNAs of two strains with high resistance to gentamicin were used as donors to subject  C. jejuni  NCTC11168 to natural transformation. The transformants were investigated by whole-genome sequencing and analyzed comparatively with  C. jejuni  NCTC11168. In total, 30.5% (29/95) of  C. jejuni  isolates and 42.2% (38/90) of  C. coli  isolates were resistant to gentamicin and kanamycin. The prevalence of the  aph(2")-If  gene and  aac(6')-Ie/aph(2")-Ia  gene was 65.4% (121/185) and 36.2% (67/185) in  Campylobacter  isolates, respectively. The  aadE-sat4-aphA-3  cluster was identified in 8.7% (8/92) and 20.4% (19/93) of all  Campylobacter  isolates in each year. With each donor DNA, aminoglycoside-resistant transformants were obtained. The transformants showed ≥128-fold increases in the MICs of gentamicin, kanamycin, and tobramycin. A 5200-bp segment was found to be inserted between the highly conserved genes  Cj0299  and  panB  of  Campylobacter . A total of 9.7% (18/185) strains showing high resistance to aminoglycosides had this segment by PCR detection. The genetic diversity of the insertion-fragment positive strains was determined by MLST, and seven sequence types were identified for these strains.
