Genomic epidemiology of ceftriaxone-resistant non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica strain in China.

ABSTRACT: Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is one of the top causes of diarrhea worldwide. Ceftriaxone is commonly recommended as the initial treatment option for Salmonella infections due to its antibacterial effectiveness. The objective of this study was to investigate the molecular epidemiological characteristics of NTS and to compare the phenotypic and genotypic profiles of antimicrobial resistance in multidrug-resistant Salmonella strains by sequencing 329 NTS strains collected from a county-level hospital between 2018 and 2021. Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), antimicrobial resistance genes and plasmid types were identified by BacWGSTdb 2.0 webserver. Phylogenetic analysis of all NTS strains was carried out using Snippy and Gubbins software. The transferability of ceftriaxone resistant plasmi
