# Hybrid assembled genomes of three Salmonella enterica isolates from municipal wastewater in Tennessee, USA

## TL;DR

This study presents hybrid genome assemblies of three Salmonella strains isolated from wastewater in Tennessee, identifying their serotypes.

## Contribution

The paper provides new hybrid genome assemblies and serotype identification for Salmonella isolates from municipal wastewater.

## Key findings

- Three Salmonella enterica isolates were obtained from a wastewater treatment plant in Knoxville, Tennessee.
- Hybrid assemblies revealed two isolates as serotype Bareilly and one as serotype Typhimurium.

## Abstract

Three Salmonella enterica isolates were isolated from a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Knoxville, TN, USA. Genomic DNA was extracted and sequenced on the Illumina and Oxford Nanopore platforms. Annotated hybrid assemblies showed the strains were predicted to be serotypes Bareilly (n = 2) and Typhimurium (n = 1).
