Abstract

We sequenced the genomes of 14 sequential Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium isolates obtained over a five year period from a patient with persistent Salmonella bacteriuria. The isolates formed five distinct lineages; two of which co-existed over four years. We inferred that the observed within-patient variation resulted from mutation events.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)
