Abstract

The diversity of the genus Salmonella is reflected in the physiological adaptations used by its members in response to stressors such as high pressure. Here we report the draft whole genome sequences of 11 Salmonella enterica strains, five sensitive strains and six demonstrating high levels of pressure resistance.
