Draft Genome Sequences of Three Salmonella enterica Serovar 4,[5],12:i:- Strains and One S. enterica Serovar Typhimurium Strain, Isolated in Brazil.

Draft genomes of three 4,[5],12:i:- (STi) strains isolated from human infections were obtained using Illumina sequencing. They were negative for the operon but positive for , and k-mer analyses revealed their identity as 4,[5],12:i:- 08-1736 and Typhimurium. A draft Typhimurium sequence is described for comparison.

Integration host factor is important for biofilm formation by Salmonella enterica Enteritidis.

Salmonella enterica Enteritidis forms biofilms and survives in agricultural environments, infecting poultry and eggs. Bacteria in biofilms are difficult to eradicate compared to planktonic cells, causing serious problems in industry and public health. In this study, we evaluated the role of ihfA and ihfB in biofilm formation by S.
