192 Salmonella Kentucky isolates from a nationwide surveillance program in Taiwan from 2004 to 2025. Whole-genome sequencing data for 165 isolates reveals the emergence of azithromycin-resistant extensively drug-resistant (AziR-XDR) strains, primarily sequence type ST314. The dataset was authored by Ying-Shu Liao and last updated in June 2026.
Use Cases
- Phylogenetic analysis of Salmonella Kentucky ST314 based on whole-genome sequencing data mentioned in the description
- Tracking the temporal emergence of azithromycin-resistant extensively drug-resistant (AziR-XDR) strains from 2004 to 2025
- Comparative genomic analysis of resistance plasmids, such as the IncFIB(pB171) plasmid carrying blaDHA-1, mph(A), qnrB, and sul1
- Assessing the genetic relatedness of Taiwanese isolates to international strains circulating in China and elsewhere
Strengths
- Data covers a 21-year nationwide surveillance period from 2004 to 2025
- Includes whole-genome sequencing results for 165 isolates from humans, animals, and chicken meat
- Identifies 32 specific azithromycin-resistant extensively drug-resistant (AziR-XDR) isolates
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- The dataset is small (84.3 KB), indicating limited scope
