Draft genome sequences of Salmonella recovered from organic and conventional retail chickens in Maryland, USA

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT We report the draft genome sequences of 94 multidrug-resistant Salmonella isolates ( S . Infantis, Enteritidis, and Typhimurium) from organic and conventional retail chickens in Maryland, USA (average genome size = 4.97 Mb; guanine–cytosine content = 52.12%). These isolates harbored diverse antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes, Salmonella pathogenicity islands, and plasmids, highlighting potential public health risks.
