Campylobacter jejuni has recently been noted as the most common cause of bacterial foodborne diseases in Japan. In the present study, we determined ST types of C. jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolated from chickens and patients with enteritis or GBS in Japan and Thailand. C. jejuni from chickens, enteritis, and GBS exhibited divergent ST types and included several novel types in addition to worldwide common types. C. coli from enteritis was also divergent. Novel ST types may represent unidentified native clones in each country. Pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis confirmed the above typing and demonstrated long‐term persistence and transmission.
