Insights from the genome sequence of a salmonella enterica serovar typhi strain associated with a sporadic case of typhoid fever in Malaysia

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is the causative agent of typhoid fever, which causes nearly 21.7 million illnesses and 217,000 deaths globally. Herein, we describe the whole-genome sequence of the Salmonella Typhi strain ST0208, isolated from a sporadic case of typhoid fever in Kuala Lumpur, Mala...
