Draft genome sequence of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi IMR_TP298/15, a strain with intermediate susceptibility to ciprofloxacin, isolated from a typhoid outbreak

Abstract

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi with reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin is increasingly being reported globally. An outbreak caused by Salmonella Typhi with decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility has not been reported before in Malaysia. We present here the annotated draft genome of a Salmonella Typhi strain involved in a typhoid outbreak.
