Abstract
ABSTRACTPigeon-adapted strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium var. Copenhagen phage types 2 and 99 obtained from the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario, Canada, were analyzed using whole-genome sequencing. All isolates contained the Salmonella virulence plasmid despite the low pathogenicity of this lineage in their avian host.
Highlights
Pigeon-adapted strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium var
The estimated mean genome size and standard deviation were 4,859,860 Ϯ 17,288 bp, and the genomes contained an average of 4,580 Ϯ 25 coding sequences and 72 Ϯ 1 transfer RNAs
antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes were not found in any of the isolates using ResFinder. These genomes should allow for a detailed comparison of the attributes of Salmonella Typhimurium isolates from pigeons with those of other wild birds and with isolates contaminating the food chain
