As an important foodborne pathogen, Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis is recognized as one of the most common causes of human salmonellosis globally. Outbreak detection for this highly homogenous serotype, however, has remained challenging. Rapid advances in sequencing technologies have presented whole-genome sequencing (WGS) as a significant advancement for source tracing and molecular typing of foodborne pathogens. A retrospective analysis was conducted using Salmonella Enteritidis isolates (n = 65) from 11 epidemiologically confirmed outbreaks and a collection of contemporaneous sporadic isolates (n = 258) during 2007-2017 to evaluate the performance of WGS in delineating outbreak-associated isolates. Whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based phylogenetic analysis revealed well-supported clades in concordance with epidemiological evidence and pairwise distances of
