Draft Genome Sequences of 80 Salmonella enterica Serovar Infantis Strains Isolated from Food, Environmental, Human, and Veterinary Sources in Brazil

Abstract

Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis is a broadly distributed serovar infecting humans and animal reservoirs globally. Here, we report 80 draft genome sequences of S . Infantis strains isolated from diverse sources in Brazil. These data will improve our understanding of the specific traits of S. Infantis isolated in this country.

Genomic characterization and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis isolated from food, humans and veterinary-related sources in Brazil

“…All information regarding the sequencing of the 80 S . Infantis strains, as well as its respective accession numbers, have been previously reported in detail by Vilela et al (2021).…”

“…Genomic DNA isolation was performed by the phenol‐chloroform‐isoamyl alcohol as previously described (Vilela et al, 2021). Libraries were prepared with 1ng of genomic DNA with the Nextera XT DNA kit (Illumina).…”

“…Draft genomes were assembled with SKESA 2.2 and NCBI's Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) and quality control was performed in MicroRunQC workflow. All information regarding the sequencing of the 80 S. Infantis strains, as well as its respective accession numbers, have been previously reported in detail by Vilela et al (2021).…”

Prevalence of efflux pump and heavy metal tolerance encoding genes among Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis strains from diverse sources in Brazil

“…The extraction of the genomic DNA was performed by the phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol method, as previously described [ 23 ], and 1ng of the extracted DNA was used for the preparation of libraries with the Nextera XT DNA kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Genomes were sequenced in the Illumina MiSeq platform using the 2 X 150-bp paired-end MiSeq Reagent Kit version 3 (Illumina, San Diego, CA).…”

“…The complete isolation data, accession numbers and metadata of the genomic sequences of the 80 S . Infantis strains analyzed have been published in Vilela and collaborators [ 23 ] and are also partially displayed in Table 1 .…”
