Retrospective use of whole genome sequencing to better understand an outbreak of serovar Mbandaka in New South Wales, Australia.

Introduction: serovar Mbandaka is an infrequent cause of salmonellosis in New South Wales (NSW) with an average of 17 cases reported annually. This study examined the added value of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for investigating a non-point source outbreak of ser. Mbandaka with limited geographical spread.
