Genomic characteristics and comparative genomics analysis of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Thompson isolated from an outbreak in South Korea.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella infections represent an important public health problem. In 2018, a multistate outbreak of S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Thompson infection associated with contaminated chocolate cakes in schools was reported in South Korea. In this study, we sequenced the 37 S. Thompson strains isolated from chocolate cakes, egg whites, preserves, and cookware associated with the outbreak. In addition, we analyze the genomic sequences of 61 S. Thompson strains (37 chocolate cake-related outbreak strains, 4 strains isolated from outbreaks in South Korea and 20 strains available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information) to assess the genomic characteristics of outbreak-related strains by comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis. The results showed that identically classifi
