RESUMO
Eleven Salmonella enterica serovar Bovismorbificans isolates obtained from the U.S. District of Columbia during a 2011 hummus-associated foodborne outbreak were compared to 12 non-outbreak isolates. All isolates from the outbreak demonstrated a single PFGE pattern that was distinctly different from other isolates of S. Bovismorbificans as recorded in the PulseNet Database. Results from molecular analyses of the hummus-associated S. Bovismorbificans isolates indicate that the isolates from the outbreak were unique and have acquired an 80-90 kb plasmid. The impact of this study is that the information gained will add and expand our knowledge of diversity of the S. Bovismorbificans serovar.

We present six draft genome sequences of Salmonella enterica serovar Bovismorbificans from isolates associated with the 2011 hummus-borne multistate outbreak. All six genome sequences indicate the presence of two plasmids, one of which demonstrates similarity to the 93-kb pSLT2 IncF-type plasmid of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
