Abstract

The draft genome of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis phage type 4 (PT4) strain IOC4647/2004, isolated from a poultry farm in São Paulo state, was obtained with high-throughput Illumina sequencing platform, generating 4,173,826 paired-end reads with 251 bp. The assembly of 4,804,382 bp in 27 scaffolds shows strong similarity to other S. Enteritidis strains.

Highlights

  • Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) is one of the commonest bacterial pathogens causing gastrointestinal infection worldwide

  • Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is the most prevalent serovar [1]; it accounts for huge global disease burden and causes human gastroenteritis and bacteremia [2, 3]

  • Enteritidis has been the main serovar underlying human infections isolated from poultry materials in Brazil

Summary

Introduction

Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) is one of the commonest bacterial pathogens causing gastrointestinal infection worldwide. Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is the most prevalent serovar [1]; it accounts for huge global disease burden and causes human gastroenteritis and bacteremia [2, 3]. Enteritidis has been the main serovar underlying human infections isolated from poultry materials in Brazil. This serovar is still the cause of many losses faced by the national poultry industry [4].
