Fluoroquinolone resistance in non-typhoidal < em > Salmonella enterica < /em > isolated from slaughtered pigs in Thailand

Conclusion. We found high fluoroquinolone resistance rates among the NTS isolates from pigs from slaughterhouses. The fluoroquinolone resistance mechanism in NTS was associated with the combination of qnrS and substitutions in gyrA, parC, or both. To prevent the transmission of antimicrobial-resistant NTS between animals and humans, continuous monitoring, surveillance, and regulation of Salmonella in the pork supply chain are pivotal.PMID:34319224 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001386
