Bayesian phylogeographic analysis infers cross-border transmission dynamics of drug-resistant <i>Salmonella</i> Enteritidis.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) stands as a leading cause of human salmonellosis worldwide with a tendency to spread through contaminated foodstuffs and animals. In Hong Kong, a significant proportion of food products are imported, and many cases are often caused by the consumption of contaminated food, hence making the geographical surveillance of drug-resistant S. Enteritidis important for strong public health and food safety measures. We analyzed the whole genomes of 207 S. Enteritidis from Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, mainland China, the United States of America, South Africa, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom to examine associated antimicrobial resistance and the transmission dynamics between continents.
