Abstract

We report here the closed genomes of Salmonella enterica strains from the 2017-2018 multistrain, multistate kratom outbreak using single-molecule real-time DNA sequencing. Four of the genomes consist of one circular chromosome, and the fifth has a circular chromosome and a single plasmid.
