Abstract
ABSTRACTSalmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis is a wide-host-range pathogen. Occasionally, it is involved in invasive infections, leading to a high mortality rate. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of four S. Enteritidis strains obtained from human and avian hosts that had been involved in bacteremia, gastroenteritis, and primary infections.
Highlights
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis is a wide-hostrange pathogen
Enteritidis strains of avian origin possessed all four genes, galK, galM, galT, and galE, that encode the enzymes galactokinase, galactose-1-epimerase, galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, and UDPgalactose 4-epimerase, respectively, which are necessary for conversion of galactose into glucose
Besides the enzymes of the Leloir pathway, the avian strains possessed the protein-coding sequences involved in acquisitions of molybdate and iron, as well as multidrug efflux, and a protein of unknown function (DUF2167 domain-containing protein)
Summary
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis is a wide-hostrange pathogen. Enteritidis strains 15-00488 and 16-03217, implicated in the infection of avian hosts, were obtained from Alabama and Wisconsin in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Enteritidis strains, 2016010175 and 2011007870, were obtained from Minnesota in 2015 and 2011, respectively.
