Abstract
Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Berta has been isolated in multiple animal species and has been implicated in human disease. Here, we report a 4.7-Mbp draft genome sequence of S. enterica serovar Berta (ATCC strain 8392) and a nalidixic acid-resistant isolate derived from this strain.
Highlights
Salmonella enterica serovar Berta was first isolated from pig mesenteric glands in Uruguay by Hormaeche and Salsamendi in 1936 [1]
S. enterica serovar Berta type strain ATCC 8392 and a nalidixic acid-resistant (NALR) isolate derived from this strain were analyzed in this study
Draft genomes of the isolates of S. enterica serovar Berta ATCC 8392 characterized in this study were very similar
Summary
Salmonella enterica serovar Berta was first isolated from pig mesenteric glands in Uruguay by Hormaeche and Salsamendi in 1936 [1]. Years later the first human outbreak was reported following food poisoning from S. enterica serovar Berta contaminated pork sausage [2]. More recent illnesses associated with S. enterica serovar Berta have occurred in Italy following consumption of dairybased desserts and eggs [7] as well as a rare case of S. enterica serovar Berta meningitis in a neonate [8].
