This study uses multilevel genome typing to analyze Australian Salmonella Enteritidis isolates, finding strong epidemiological links to Asian strains and a local outbreak linked to European isolates.

MGTdb provides a web service for assigning and analyzing multilevel genome types of bacterial isolates, supporting epidemiological studies of Salmonella and Vibrio species.

This study develops a multilevel genome typing method for Salmonella Enteritidis and analyzes 26,670 genomes to reveal global and local genomic epidemiology, including multidrug resistance and outbreak patterns.
