Data Sheet 1_Genomic characterization of mcr-1.1-positive Salmonella Kentucky ST198 from a

A United Arab Emirates study presents genomic data for a single multidrug-resistant Salmonella Kentucky ST198 isolate recovered from a captive Asian houbara bustard. The dataset includes phenotypic resistance profiles and genomic determinants, including the mcr-1.1 gene on an IncHI2 plasmid. It was authored by Mar Carrasco Muñoz and published on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Phylogenomic analysis based on core-genome SNP comparisons with broiler isolates.
• Characterizing plasmid-mediated colistin resistance based on the mcr-1.1 gene location and structure.
• Studying virulence potential based on the 156 identified virulence-associated genes, including pathogenicity islands.
• Assessing multidrug resistance profiles based on phenotypic testing against 17 antimicrobials and 21 genomic determinants.

Strengths

• Includes long-read whole-genome sequencing data for a high-risk bacterial clone.
• Provides detailed phenotypic and genotypic resistance data for a single, well-characterized isolate.
• Contains phylogenomic analysis placing the isolate within a specific sequence type (ST198) and comparing it to related strains.

Limitations

• Dataset scale is extremely limited, containing data for only one bacterial isolate (26.6 KB file).
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
