Last updated: 21-10-2016.

Main Information

This bacteria belongs to Salmonella, a genus of rod-shaped, Gram-negative, non-spore forming enterobacteria, which causes millions infections per year. Salmonella anatum is a common cause of salmonellosis, an important infectious disease in humans and animals^[0]. This bacteria were isolated from cattle, calves, pigs, horses, dogs, chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, egg products, dry milk, fish meal^[3] (USDA-ARS-USMARC-1735 strain was isolated from bovine pre-evisceration carcass^[2]). Also, unpasteurised fruit juices have been associated with outbreaks of Salmonella Anatum. This bacteria has serious economic impact as well: in 2013 USA government lost $3.66 billion on the score of it's activity^[4]. Full strain taxonomy is presented in Table 1. Bacteria morphology is shown in Figure 1.

Genome Details

Strain's genome is made up of two circular DNA segments: chromosome and plasmid, 4844415 and 101118 bp respectively, 4945533 totally. Full genome contains 4844 genes. Chromosome was sequenced on 06-MAY-2016. Plasmid was sequenced on 07-JUN-2016.
