Abstract

Salmonella enterica is an important global pathogen due to its contribution to human morbidity and death. The presence of S. enterica in Southeast Asian informal markets is amplified by cross-contamination between market surfaces and food products. Here, we describe the draft genome sequences of 81 Salmonella enterica isolates from informal markets in Cambodia.
