Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum causes fowl typhoid in poultry. In this study, we isolated Salmonella from a Korean retail chicken shell egg and performed whole-genome sequencing, from which we identified one chromosome (4,659,977-bp) and two plasmids (plasmid_1: 87,506 bp and plasmid_2: 2,331 bp). The isolate serotype was confirmed to be Gallinarum, with a biovar type of Gallinarum, which was finally identified as Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum. Multilocus sequence typing confirmed that the isolate was that of sequence type 78. The antimicrobial resistance gene, aac(6')- laa, was identified on the chromosome, and 166 virulence genes were detected on the chromosome and plasmid_1.
