Abstract

Salmonella enterica spp. are a diverse group of bacteria with a wide range of virulence potential. To facilitate genome comparisons across this virulence spectrum, we present eight complete closed genome sequences of four S. enterica serotypes (Anatum, Montevideo, Typhimurium, and Newport), isolated from various cattle samples and from humans.

Highlights

Salmonella enterica spp. are a diverse group of bacteria with a wide range of virulence potential
All S. enterica are regarded as human pathogens because of their ability to invade intestinal epithelial cells and potential for causing systemic illness [1, 2]
Of the ~1,700 serovars noted for causing human salmonellosis, only 20 account for over 70% of illnesses [3]

Summary

Introduction

Salmonella enterica spp. are a diverse group of bacteria with a wide range of virulence potential. Salmonella enterica spp. are a diverse group of bacteria capable of occupying numerous environmental niches and hosts with varying degrees of impact, from commensal colonization to invasive infection. All S. enterica are regarded as human pathogens because of their ability to invade intestinal epithelial cells and potential for causing systemic illness [1, 2].
