Deciphering the Epidemiology and Population Structure of Salmonella enteritidis in Saudi Arabia
Salmonella enteritidis is a leading cause of foodborne illness worldwide, with significant public health implications. In this study, we apply whole-genome sequencing combined with advanced bioinformatics analyses to investigate the epidemiology, transmission dynamics, and population structure of Salmonella enteritidis in Saudi Arabia. By analyzing a robust collection of isolates obtained from various sources across the country, we uncover critical insights into the genetic diversity, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and transmission routes of this pathogen.
