Phylogeny and Genomic Characterization of Clinical Salmonella enterica Serovar Newport Collected in Tennessee.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Newport (S. Newport) is a clinically and epidemiologically significant serovar in the United States. It is the second most prevalent clinically isolated Salmonella serovar in the United States, and it can contaminate a wide variety of food products. In this study, we evaluated the population structure of S. Newport clinical isolates obtained by the Tennessee Department of Health during routine surveillance (n = 346), along with a diverse set of other global clinical isolates obtained from EnteroBase (n = 271). Most of these clinical isolates belonged to established lineages II and III. Additionally, we performed lineage-specific phylogenetic analyses and were able to identify 18 potential epidemiological cluster
