Detection and Preliminary Genomic Characterization of Poultry-Derived <i>Salmonella enterica</i> from Southern Kazakhstan.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Salmonella enterica is a major cause of foodborne infection globally, with poultry acting as an important reservoir. However, data from Central Asia remain limited. This study provides preliminary phenotypic and genomic characterization of S. enterica isolates recovered from poultry farms in southern Kazakhstan, focusing on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), serotypes/sequence types and phylogenetic relationships. Methods: In October 2024, 335 poultry and environmental samples were collected from three regions of southern Kazakhstan using a cross-sectional, detection-focused sampling strategy. Isolation of Salmonella enterica followed enrichment and selective culturing, with confirmation by biochemical assays, slide agglutination serol
