Genomic epidemiology of <i>Salmonella</i> Enteritidis human infections in the Netherlands, 2019 to 2023.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (SE) is a common foodborne pathogen that can cause human salmonellosis. Identifying closely related cases is essential to control the pathogen through, e.g. outbreak investigation, but it is often challenging due to the low genetic diversity of SE, particularly with traditional typing methods. This study aimed to investigate the population structure of SE genomes collected during routine surveillance in the Netherlands using whole-genome sequencing (WGS), their clustering, temporal distribution and the association between epidemiological and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) factors and the persistence of SE clusters. We also investigated the distribution of genotypic AMR markers among these isolates. The study collection comprised 1,
