Genomic Characterization of mcr-1-carrying Salmonella enterica Serovar 4,[5],12:i:- ST 34 Clone Isolated From Pigs in China.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica serovar 4,[5],12:i:-, so-called Typhimurium monophasic variant, has become one of the most frequently isolated serovars both in humans and in animals all over the world. The increasing prevalence of mcr-1-carrying Salmonella poses significant global health concerns. However, the potential role of Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- in mcr-1 gene migration through the food chain to the human remains obscure. Here, we investigated 337 Salmonella isolates from apparently healthy finishing pigs, which is rarely studied, obtained from pig farms and slaughterhouses in China. The mcr-1 gene was found in four colistin-resistant S. enterica 4,[5],12:i:- isolates. Notably, all four isolates belonged to sequence type 34 (ST
