Dataset for transcriptome analysis of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium strain 14028S response to starvation

Salmonella enterica is an ubiquitous pathogen throughout the world causing gastroenteritis in humans and animals. Sur-vival of pathogenic bacteria in the external environment may be associated with the ability to overcome the stress caused by starvation. The bacterial response to starvation is well un-derstood in laboratory cultures with a sufficiently high cell density. However, bacterial populations often have a small size when facing this challenge in natural biotopes. The aim of this work was to find out if there are differences in the transcriptomes of S. enterica depending on the factor of cell density during starvation. Here we present transcrip-tome data of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Ty-phimurium str. 14028S grown in carbon rich or carbon de-ficient medium with high or low cell density. These data will help identify genes involved in adaptation of low-density bacterial populations to starvation conditions. (c) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
