Genome sequence, antibiotic resistance genes, and plasmids in a monophasic variant of Salmonella typhimurium isolated from retail pork.

A Salmonella isolate from retail pork was whole genome sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq6000, with a 5,320,119 bp genome and 51.06% GC content. Several antibiotic resistance genes and plasmids, including bla TEM-1 , aac(6')-IIc , IncHI2, and p0111 were obtained from subsequent analysis. These findings provide vital insights into generic determinants of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in this foodborne pathogen.
