Genome sequencing and analysis of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype Enteritidis PT4 578: insights into pathogenicity and virulence.

ABSTRACT: 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. The Salmonella pathogenicity mechanism is multifactorial and complex, including the presence of virulence factors that are encoded by virulence genes. 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 sequ
