Abstract
Salmonellosis contributes significantly to the public health burden globally. Salmonella enterica serotype Newport is among Salmonella serotypes most associated with food-borne illness in the United States and China. It was thought to be polyphyletic and to contain different lineages. We report draft genomes of four S. Newport strains isolated from humans in China.

Summary
Salmonellosis contributes significantly to the public health burden globally. Salmonella enterica serotype Newport is among Salmonella serotypes most associated with food-borne illness in the United States and China. Nontyphoidal Salmonella causes an estimated 93.8 million cases of gastroenteritis and 155,000 deaths each year in the world [1]. Salmonella enterica serotype Newport ranks among the top three serotypes associated with food-borne illness in the United States, causing at least 100,000 infections annually [2].
