Serotype diversity and antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella enterica isolated from patients at an equine referral hospital.

In this study, we identify temporal trends in the distribution of Salmonella serotypes and their mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance; further, we are able to determine the likely origin of several temporal clusters of infection by using whole genome sequencing. These data can be used to focus strategies to better contain the dissemination and enhance the mitigation of Salmonella infections, and to provide evidence-based policies and guidelines to steward antimicrobial use in veterinary medicine.
