The mcr-1 gene was detected in Salmonella Infantis isolates, linked to serious colistin resistance in broiler chickens.
Two isolates showed multidrug resistance, with minimum inhibitory concentrations for colistin and ciprofloxacin at 4 mg/L and 0.5 mg/L, respectively.
Whole-genome sequencing revealed SNP differences confirming a close relationship between the isolates identified in the UAE.
Findings highlight the risk of antibiotic resistance transmission, stressing the importance of the UAE's ban on colistin in veterinary medicine.
