First draft genome sequence of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar enteritidis isolated from the chicken meat in Russia

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis is one of the most common zoonotic pathogens. Specifically, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) represented 61.2% of all reported serovars of confirmed human cases in 2017 in the European Union and about 70% of all reported serovars of confirmed human cases in 1988-2018 in Russia. Chickens known to be the main reservoir for S. Enteritidis (EFSA and ECDC 2018). However, there is a lack of information on full-genome sequences of S. Enteritidis, isolated in Russia. We report here the genome sequence of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis S-25048 isolated from chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) meat in Artyom, Russia. The assembled genome size was 4,695,145 bp. A total of 4,565 coding genes, 4 rRNAs, 62 tRNAs, and 14 noncoding RNAs were predicted. To our knowledge, this is the first publically deposited annotated genome of this serovar isolated from chicken in Russia. The Salmonella Enteritidis S-25048 genome is suitable for use as a reference strain of Salmonella Enteritidis isolated in Russia.
