Whole-Genome Sequences of Four Salmonella enterica Serotype Newport Strains from Humans

Genome Announc. 2013 May 9;1(3):e00213-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00213-13.

Abstract

Salmonellosis contributes significantly to the public health burden globally. Salmonella enterica serotype Newport is among Salmonella serotypes most associated with food-borne illness in the United States and China. It was thought to be polyphyletic and to contain different lineages. We report draft genomes of four S. Newport strains isolated from humans in China.
