Salmonella Kumasi Genomic and Ecological Data from First Asian Clinical Isolate

A single clinical isolate of the rare Salmonella enterica serovar Kumasi (ST2302) from a 4-year-old child in China. The dataset includes comparative genomic, resistome, and virulence analyses against 20 publicly available S. Kumasi genomes. Shijie Peng published this 65.0 KB dataset on figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative phylogenomic analysis based on whole-genome sequencing data from 21 isolates.
• Profiling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) based on the reported resistome and pansusceptibility findings.
• Studying virulence factors based on the described invasion islands (SPI1/2) and atypical toxin architecture.
• Investigating plant-associated pathogen reservoirs based on the ecological niche and spillover infection model.

Strengths

• Comparative analysis includes 21 S. Kumasi genomes, providing a rare genomic context.
• Dataset is plasmid-free and pansusceptible, offering a clean baseline for AMR studies.
• Includes specific genomic details like the csg operon and a divergent cdtB homolog.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single clinical case from China.
