What is it about?
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Oranienburg is recognized as a foodborne pathogen widely distributed in the environment. Here, we report 18 draft genomes of S. Oranienburg strains isolated from rivers in the northwestern region of Mexico.

Why is it important?
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Oranienburg is a nontyphoid serotype associated with foodborne outbreaks worldwide, including México. The rivers located in the northwestern region of Mexico have been recognized as a harboring source of different clones of S. Oranienburg strains and are irrigation sources of crop-exported production, exposing the potential risk of Salmonella dissemination.
Perspectives
These genome sequences have been deposited in GenBank, contributing to the number of S. Oranienburg genomes and biological evolutionary knowledge. Additionally, these references can be used to contribute to epidemiological surveillance studies to control this foodborne pathogen.
