Abstract

Salmonella enterica is a zoonotic pathogen and a leading cause of foodborne gastroenteritis in humans. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two Salmonella Uzaramo isolates, which were isolated from poultry organs during routine post-mortem examination in South Africa. Currently, whole-genome sequences on Salmonella Uzaramo are scanty.

Keywords: Salmonella; South Africa; Uzaramo; draft genomes; poultry.
