Rapid Whole-Genome Sequencing for Surveillance of Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis

Rapid Whole-Genome Sequencing for Surveillance of Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis

For Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis, 85% of isolates can be classified into 5 pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) types. However, PFGE has limited discriminatory power for outbreak detection. Although whole-genome sequencing has been found to improve discrimination of outbreak clusters,...
