Genome sequence of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar typhi isolate PM016/13 from untreated well water associated with a typhoid outbreak in Pasir Mas, Kelantan, Malaysia

Abstract

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi is a human-restricted pathogen that causes typhoid fever. Even though it is a human-restricted pathogen, the bacterium is also isolated from environments such as groundwater and pond water. Here, we describe the genome sequence of the Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi PM016/13 which was isolated from well water during a typhoid outbreak in Kelantan, Malaysia, in 2013.
