Abstract excerpt
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of the leading causes of gastroenteritis in humans. Phage typing has been used for the epidemiological surveillance of S. Typhimurium for over 4 decades. However, knowledge of the evolutionary relationships between phage types is very limited. In this study, we used single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as molecular markers to determine the relationships between...
