Abstract

The Salmonella enterica strains that are representatives of the S. enterica serovar Typhimurium complex in reference collection A (SARA) are closely related but exhibit differences in antibiotic resistance, which could have public health consequences. To better understand the mechanisms behind these resistances, we sequenced the genomes of two multidrug-resistant strains: SARA64 (Muenchen) and SARA33 (Heidelberg).
