Draft Genome Sequences of Four Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Gallinarum Strains Isolated from Layer Breeder Flocks in an Outbreak of Fowl Typhoid in Colombia

Abstract

This report describes the genome sequences of four Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum ( Salmonella Gallinarum) strains isolated in Colombia in 2017 from layer breeders of different ages. The layer breeder flocks were presenting with an elevated mortality with lesions typical of fowl typhoid (FT). This report describes the genome sequences of four Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum ( Salmonella Gallinarum) strains isolated in Colombia in 2017 from layer breeders of different ages. The layer breeder flocks were presenting with an elevated mortality with lesions typical of fowl typhoid (FT). These draft genome sequences revealed a highly conserved genome of Salmonella Gallinarum strains circulating in Colombia.
