Phylogenetic tree of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi according to STs from the MLST database (http://mlst.ucc.ie/mlst/dbs/Senterica), showing the difference between ST 11 and others. All strains from our study were ST 11. Allele sequences for each strain were concatenated in the order aro C - dna N - hem D - his D - pur E - suc A - thr A for a final composite length of 3,336 bp. Sequences were aligned using the ClustalW method [9] and phylogenetic analyses were performed using NJplot through the Web Search and Analysis Service System provided by DNA Data Bank of Japan (Center for Information Biology and DNA Data Bank of Japan). All strains were designated in ST11. The scale represents nucleotide substitutions per site.
