Abstract

A Salmonella isolate from retail pork was whole genome sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq6000, with a 5,320,119 bp genome and 51.06% GC content. Several antibiotic resistance genes and plasmids, including bla_TEM-1, aac(6')-IIc, IncHI2, and p0111 were obtained from subsequent analysis. These findings provide vital insights into generic determinants of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in this foodborne pathogen.

Keywords: Salmonella typhimurium; antibiotic resistance genes; foodborne pathogens; genome sequence; plasmids.
