Comparative Whole-Genome Analysis of Russian Foodborne Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella Infantis Isolates.

ABSTRACT: Non-typhoidal Salmonella infections remain a significant public health problem worldwide. In this study, we present the first detailed genomic analysis report based on short-read (Illumina) whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 45 multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype Infantis isolates from poultry and meat product samples obtained in Russia during 2018-2020, and long-read (MinION) WGS of five more representative isolates. We sought to determine whether foodborne S. Infantis have acquired new characteristics, traits, and dynamics in MDR growth in recent years. All sequenced isolates belonged to the sequence type ST32 and more than the half of isolates was characterized by six similar antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, most of which corresponded well with the
