Abstract
The emergence of a previously undefined phage type of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, designated DT191a, occurred in England and Wales in July 2008. The new strain exhibits a number of distinctive phenotypic and genotypic features. This report provides the tools necessary to track S. Typhimurium DT191a globally.
