Interpretive Summary: Salmonella Enteritidis is a foodborne pathogen of global concern because of the high frequency isolated from foods and patients. Draft genomes of 64 S. Enteritidis strains from intestines and spleens of mice were reported. The availability of these genomes provides useful information on genomic diversity and invasion capability of S. Enteritidis in Northeastern United States during a time when foodborne outbreaks traced to internal contamination of eggs was prevalent. This work was conducted via a Material Transfer Agreement between USDA and FDA (06-2016).
