Draft genome sequence of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium ST1660/06, a multidrug-resistant clinical strain isolated from a diarrheic patient

Abstract

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of the most prevalent serovars of Salmonella that causes human gastroenteritis. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the S. Typhimurium multidrug-resistant strain ST1660/06. Comparative genomic analysis unveiled three strain-specific genomic islands that potentially confer the multidrug resistance and virulence of the strain. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
