Abstract

This paper presents the annotated genomes of Salmonella Haifa, Salmonella Bangkok, and Salmonella Reading, which are uncommonly isolated from meat in South Africa. Despite their rarity in South Africa, these serotypes have been linked to several high-profile outbreaks in other parts of the world.
