Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis strain:strain PT4 578 Genome sequencing. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis strain:strain PT4 578

Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis is a generalist serotype that adapts to different hosts and transmission niches. It has significant epidemiological relevance and is among the most prevalent serotypes distributed in several countries. Salmonella Enteritidis causes self-limited gastroenteritis in humans, which can progress to systemic infection in immunocompromised individuals. Poultry products are considered significant reservoirs of many Salmonella serotypes, and Salmonella Enteritidis infections are often related to the consumption of chicken meat and eggs. This study reports the whole-genome sequence of Salmonella Enteritidis PT4 strain 578.
