Prevalence, genomic characteristics, and transmission dynamics of mcr-1-positive Salmonella enterica Typhimurium from patients with infectious diarrhea

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of mcr-1-positive Salmonella among different sources was low. Clonal transmission could not be the main reason for the expansion of mcr-1-positive Salmonella, but be attributed to the horizontal transfer of IncHI2-pST3 plasmid. Continuous surveillance on Salmonella should be performed to investigate the response of colistin banning in food-producing animals by mcr-1-positive Salmonella populations.PMID:33866091 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijmm.2021.151501
