Salmonella enterica serovar Schwarzengrund: Distribution, Virulence, and Antimicrobial Resistance.

ABSTRACT: The global incidence of Salmonella enterica serovar Schwarzengrund has risen in recent years. This serotype has been isolated from poultry, retail meat, and other food products, leading to multiple outbreaks. Alongside the increase in infections, there are growing concerns about the increasing levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among S. Schwarzengrund strains. This study aims to better understand the genetic factors possibly contributing to the rising prevalence of S. Schwarzengrund by analyzing the sequences of 2058 isolates from both human patients (N = 313) and food- and animal-associated sources, including chicken (N = 1145), turkey (N = 300), pork (N = 132), and other sources (N = 168). Data were obtained from GenBank and analyzed for AMR genes using AMRFind
