Unknown strain of invasive serotype. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Virchow str. SL491

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Virchow str. SL491. This serovar is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially in Israel, where it is found both in humans and animals. Infections have been reported, in otherwise healthy children, to produce bacteremia, monoarthritis, cholecystitis, and prevertebral abscesses. It is considered to be an invasive serotype in immunocompetent children and to be associated with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Isolates belonging to this serovar are distinguished by resistance to quinolone antimicrobials, and are very often multiply resistant. This strain is an unknown isolate. Shotgun sequence was obtained from two libraries - a fosmid library (33-39 kb; 15,029 reads) and a small insert library (4-6 kb; 40,059 reads).
