A Snapshot of the Genetic Diversity of <i>Salmonella</i> Enteritidis Population Involved in Human Infections in Romania Taken in the European Epidemiological Context

In the absence of consistent national molecular typing data to enhance the surveillance of <i>Salmonella</i> Enteritidis, it was considered useful to collect baseline information on the genetic diversity and antibiotic susceptibility of strains isolated in Romania between January 2016 an...
