Abstract
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum causes fowl typhoid (FT), which results in huge economic losses to poultry farmers in India. We report the draft genome sequence of Salmonella biovar Gallinarum strain VTCCBAA614, isolated from a chicken in an FT affected broiler flock.
Highlights
Fowl typhoid (FT) is an acute septicemic disease of pullets and adult poultry caused by a nonmotile invasive avian pathogen, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum [1]
The disease may have been eradicated in North America and Europe, but it is endemic throughout India [2, 3, 9]
Strain VTCCBAA614 was isolated from the liver of a broiler chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) [2]
Summary
Fowl typhoid (FT) is an acute septicemic disease of pullets and adult poultry caused by a nonmotile invasive avian pathogen, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum [1]. Fowl typhoid (FT) is an acute septicemic disease of pullets and adult poultry caused by a nonmotile invasive avian pathogen, Salmonella enterica subsp. Enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum [1]. The serogroup D nonmotile Salmonella biovar Gallinarum is a chicken-adapted biotype capable of causing systemic infection rather than enteritis in birds, in contrast to its motile ancestor S. enteritidis [6].
