Plasmid-mediated antimicrobial resistance in non-typhoidal Salmonella: serotype-specific mechanisms and ecological implications

Key Points

• Antimicrobial resistance was observed due to plasmid transfer, impacting treatment strategies.
• A specific mechanism was identified in serotype Typhimurium, with implications for public health.
• Analysis involved various non-typhoidal Salmonella strains sourced from different ecological environments.
• Ecological implications suggest a need for enhanced monitoring and management strategies.
