<i>Salmonella</i> serovar Infantis REPJFX01 isolates bear a pESI plasmid that includes additional genes not found in closely related non-REP strains.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis (S. Infantis) REPJFX01 is a multidrug-resistant strain associated with poultry and international travel; this strain has been designated as a reoccurring, emerging and persistent (REP) strain by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention due to its identification in a number of foodborne illnesses and outbreaks. We compared publicly available S. Infantis REPJFX01 genomes to genomes of non-US isolates from the same NCBI SNP cluster and non-REP S. Infantis isolates from four other SNP clusters. When compared to isolates from the non-REP group, 135 genes were identified to be significantly (P<0.001) associated with REPJFX01; 50 of these genes were located on plasmid of emerging S. Infa
