Overview

Analysis reveals multidrug resistant Salmonella from pigs and humans, suggesting complicating factors for antibiotic treatment.

Key Points

  • Overall, 69.40% of Salmonella isolates were multidrug resistant, raising concerns for public health.
  • Five Salmonella Enteritidis ST11 isolates carried plasmids with virulence genes, linking resistance to genetic factors.
  • The study employed whole genome sequencing to analyze 366 Salmonella isolates from pigs, pork, and humans.
  • Monitoring the co-existence of resistance and virulence plasmids is critical for effective antibiotic therapy.
