Genomic diversity of <i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium and its monophasic variant in pig and pork production in France.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella Typhimurium and its monophasic variant (Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:-) are among the most prevalent serovars worldwide. Even though these serovars have been the focus of many studies, their spread has not yet been investigated in French pig herds and slaughterhouses at a regional scale. Here, we characterized the genomic diversity of 188 Salmonella strains belonging to sequence type (ST) 19 and 34. These strains were isolated from pigs in metropolitan France between 2014 and 2019. Samples were collected from 10 regions, three of which together represent 75% of French pig production in 2020. To contextualize the French Salmonella genomes at a worldwide level, 193 ST 34 genomes from three continents and 14 countries were also included. This study revealed lit
