# Draft genome sequences of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Give sequence type 516 isolated from blood and brain abscess of a child from North India

## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genome sequences of a Salmonella strain isolated from a child's blood and brain abscess in North India.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic data for Salmonella Give sequence type 516, including its antibiotic resistance gene aac(6′)-Iaa.

## Key findings

- The draft genomes are 4,690,901 bp and 4,703,054 bp in size.
- The genomes were assembled into 64 and 67 contigs respectively.
- The genomes contain the antibiotic resistance gene aac(6′)-Iaa.

## Abstract

Invasive non-typhoidal Salmonellae remains a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of Salmonella Give ST516, isolated from blood and brain abscess of a child. The genome sizes are 4,690,901 bp and 4,703,054 bp, assembled in 64 and 67 contigs respectively, and possess aac(6′)-Iaa.
