Long-term exposure to food-grade disinfectants causes cross-resistance to antibiotics in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains with different antibiograms and sequence types

ConclusionsThese findings provide a basis for understanding the effect of disinfectants on the antibiotic resistance ofS. Typhimurium. This work highlights the link between long-term exposure to disinfectants and the evolution of resistance to antibiotics and provides evidence to promote the regulated use of disinfectants.
