Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Thompson str. RM6836 Genome sequencing

Non-typhoid Salmonella enterica are food-borne bacterial pathogens of worldwide importance and are classified into serovars differing in virulence and host range. S. enterica serovar Thompson causes both human and zoonotic diseases, and has caused human outbreaks associated with fresh vegetables. The genomic sequence of this serovar should provide a measures of interserovar diversity.非伤寒肠炎沙门氏菌（Non-typhoid Salmonella enterica）是全球范围内具有重要公共卫生价值的食源性细菌病原体，可根据毒力与宿主范围的差异划分为不同血清型（serovars）。肠炎沙门氏菌汤普森血清型（S. enterica serovar Thompson）可引发人类疾病与人畜共患病，且曾引发多起与新鲜蔬菜相关的人类感染暴发事件。该血清型的基因组序列将为解析沙门氏菌跨血清型多样性提供关键研究支撑。
