Closed Genome Sequences of 28 Foodborne Pathogens from the CFSAN Verification Set, Determined by a Combination of Long and Short Reads

Foodborne pathogens have been implicated in illnesses worldwide. Here, we report the complete closed genome sequences of 28 bacterial strains belonging to 18 different species. These genomes belong to known foodborne pathogens. The genomes were closed by a combination of long-read and short-read sequencing.
