Genome sequence and comparative pathogenomics analysis of a salmonella enterica serovar typhi strain associated with a typhoid carrier in Malaysia

Abstract

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is a human pathogen that causes typhoid fever predominantly in developing countries. In this article, we describe the whole genome sequence of the S. Typhi strain CR0044 isolated from a typhoid fever carrier in Kelantan, Malaysia. These data will further enhance the understanding of its host persistence and adaptive mechanism. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
