Elucidation of global and national genomic epidemiology of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis through multilevel genome typing

Abstract excerpt

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is a major cause of foodborne Salmonella infections and outbreaks in humans. Effective surveillance and timely outbreak detection are essential for public health control. Multilevel genome typing (MGT) with multiple levels of resolution has been previously demonstrated as a promising tool for this purpose. In this study, we developed MGT with nine levels for S . Enteritidis...
