Complete genome sequence of salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Minnesota strain

Abstract

Mango has been implicated as food vehicle in several Salmonella-causing foodborne outbreaks. Here, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovarMinnesotawas isolated fromfresh mango fruit imported fromMexico in 2014. The complete genome sequence of S. Minnesota CFSAN017963 was sequenced using single-molecule real-time DNA sequencing. Distinct prophage regions, Salmonella pathogenicity islands, and fimbrial gene clusters were observed in comparative genomic analysis on S. Minnesota CFSAN017963with other phylogenetically closely related Salmonella serovars. Core genomemultilocus sequencing typing analysis of all the S.Minnesota isolates in theGenbank and Enterobase also revealed a high genomic diversity among the genomes analyzed.
