Abstract

ABSTRACTSalmonellosis is a major contributor to the global public health burden.Salmonella entericaserotype Newport has ranked among threeSalmonellaserotypes most commonly associated with food-borne outbreaks in the United States. It was thought to be polyphyletic and composed of independent lineages. Here we report draft genomes of eight strains ofS. Newport from diverse hosts and locations.
