Abstract
We report the genome sequence of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica strain Durban, isolated from a patient with salmonellosis and typhoid fever. The strain is closely related to S. enterica subsp. enterica strain P125109 but differs in loss of the ϕSE20 prophage and acquisition of a prophage similar to ELPhiS.
Highlights
We report the genome sequence of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica strain Durban, isolated from a patient with salmonellosis and typhoid fever
S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis strains are typically associated with food-borne salmonellosis infections and gastroenteritis, and S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi strains are associated with typhoid fever
Genome comparisons show that S. enterica subsp. enterica strains share a common core but differ in their pathogenicity islands, transposons, and prophages, which likely influence their pathogenicity (1)
Summary
We report the genome sequence of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica strain Durban, isolated from a patient with salmonellosis and typhoid fever. The species Salmonella enterica encompasses a large group of pathogenic bacterial strains that includes six subspecies and more than 2,500 serovars (1). Enterica serovar Enteritidis strains are typically associated with food-borne salmonellosis infections and gastroenteritis, and S. enterica subsp. Enterica serovar Typhi strains are associated with typhoid fever.
