Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky is a polyphyletic member of S. enterica subclade A1 with multiple sequence types that often colonize the same hosts but in different frequencies on different continents. To evaluate the genomic features involved in S Kentucky host specificity, we sequenced the genomes of four isolates recovered in the 1970s.
