Abstract
ABSTRACTTyphoid is one of the leading causes of mortality in developing countries. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of four Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi strains isolated from bloodstream infections in a tertiary care hospital. The sequence data indicate genomes of ~4.5 Mb for all isolates, with one plasmid in each.

Typhoid is one of the leading causes of mortality in developing countries
We present the draft genome sequences of four Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi strains (429038, 430040, 7830, and 458426) isolated from blood
Raw data assembly was achieved de novo in the SPAdes assembler version 5.0.0.0 embedded in the Torrent suite server version 5.0.3
Summary
Typhoid is one of the leading causes of mortality in developing countries. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of four Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi strains isolated from bloodstream infections in a tertiary care hospital. We present the draft genome sequences of four Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi strains (429038, 430040, 7830, and 458426) isolated from blood. To further understand the mechanism behind cephalosporin resistance, the whole-genome sequences (WGSs) of these isolates were analyzed. The Ion Torrent PGM platform was used to perform WGS with 400-bp chemistry.
