Implication

Study finds 69.40% of Salmonella isolates from pigs and humans are multidrug resistant, indicating critical health risks.

Key Points

  • Multidrug resistance was observed in 69.40% of Salmonella isolates from various sources in Southeast Asia.
  • Whole genome sequencing identified plasmid-associated virulence genes in clinical Salmonella isolates.
  • Analysis revealed clonal dissemination of multidrug-resistant Salmonella strains across multiple regions.
  • Highlighting the coexistence of resistance and virulence plasmids may complicate antibiotic treatment globally.
