Interpretive Summary: Non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica are a leading cause of foodborne illness in the U.S. and around the world. Of the greater than 2500 types of Salmonella enterica, serovar Typhimurium is consistently ranked as one of the two leading serovars attributed to salmonellosis, resulting in more than 6000 cases of reported illness each year. The decreasing cost of bacterial whole genome sequencing (WGS) is resulting in a wealth of sequence data of bacterial pathogens. WGS of Salmonella enterica strains is revealing the genetic diversity present in the “family tree” of this group of pathogens. These data have the potential to increase our understanding of what makes Salmonella Typhimurium such a successful pathogen, as well as provide information needed to differentiate members of one branch of the family tree from another. In order to increase our understanding of the genetic diversity of Salmonella Typhimurium associated with cattle and beef, we present here the complete, closed reference genome sequence data for ten Salmonella Typhimurium strains isolated from cattle or human sources.

Technical Abstract: Salmonella enterica are a leading cause of enterocolitis for humans and animals. S. enterica serovar Typhimurium infects a broad range of hosts. To facilitate genomic comparisons among isolates from different sources, we present the complete genome sequences of ten S. Typhimurium strains, five each isolated from human or bovine sources.
