Multidrug resistance in Salmonella isolates of swine origin: mobile genetic elements and plasmids associated with cephalosporin resistance with potential transmission to humans

  04 May 2024

The emergence of foodborne Salmonella strains carrying antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in mobile genetic elements (MGE) is a significant public health threat, particularly in a One Health context. A study of 83 strains from pigs in Northern Spain revealed that all isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin and three had blaCMY-2 or blaCTX-M-9 genes responsible for cefotaxime resistance. The study emphasizes the importance of sequencing techniques to identify emerging AMR regions in conjugative and stable plasmids from livestock production.
