We report the draft genome sequences of 94 multidrug-resistant isolates (. Infantis, Enteritidis, and Typhimurium) from organic and conventional retail chickens in Maryland, USA (average genome size = 4.97 Mb; guanine-cytosine content = 52.12%). These isolates harbored diverse antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes, pathogenicity islands, and plasmids, highlighting potential public health risks.
我们报告了从美国马里兰州有机和传统零售鸡肉中分离出的94株多重耐药菌株(婴儿沙门氏菌、肠炎沙门氏菌和鼠伤寒沙门氏菌)的基因组序列草图(平均基因组大小 = 4.97 Mb;鸟嘌呤 - 胞嘧啶含量 = 52.12%)。这些分离株携带多种抗菌抗性和毒力基因、致病岛和质粒,突出了潜在的公共卫生风险。
