Complete genome sequence of Salmonella enterica serovar Sendai shows H antigen convergence with S. Miami and recent divergence from S. Paratyphi A

Salmonella enterica consists of over 2500 serovars and displays dichotomy in disease manifestations and host range. Except for the enrichment of pseudogenes in genomes for human-restricted serovars, no hallmark has been identified to distinguish those with host-generalist serovars.
