Abstract

Seventeen Salmonella enterica serovar Schwarzengrund isolates from chicken (n = 9) and clinical samples including stool (n = 6), urine (n = 1), and gallbladder (n = 1) were sequenced and found to carry an IncFIB-IncFIC (FII) fusion plasmid of approximately 145 Kb. This information provides reference genomic data for comparative studies of S. Schwarzengrund pathogenicity and plasmid genetics.

Keywords: IncFIB-IncFIC (FII); Salmonella Schwarzengrund; fusion plasmid; nanopore.
