Abstract

ABSTRACT A Salmonella enterica strain BT from the oral cavity of a diseased blue-tongued lizard was sequenced on the Oxford Nanopore platform. The assembled 4.8 Mbp genome consists of one circular chromosome and one circular plasmid (pBT). In silico serotyping suggested a rare serovar 40:z 4 ,z 23 :- of the subspecies houtenae (IV).
