Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Antimicrobial Resistance in <i>Salmonella</i> Isolated from Asymptomatic Workers - Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, 2013-2024.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Asymptomatic carriers of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella constitute a significant yet frequently overlooked public health threat. This study aimed to characterize antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns in Salmonella isolated from asymptomatic workers in Yulin, China, over a 12-year period (2013-2024) and to identify the potential influence of natural and socioeconomic factors.

Methods

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed against 11 antimicrobial agents. We analyzed temporal trends in AMR rates using the Mann-Kendall test and assessed associations between AMR rates and natural or socioeconomic variables using Spearman's rank correlation, Principal Component Regression (PCR), and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO)
