173 Salmonella isolates from patients and food samples in Ruian, China during 2020–2021 underwent serotyping, antimicrobial resistance phenotyping, and whole-genome sequencing. The analysis identified 28 distinct serovars, high resistance rates to several antibiotics, and 91 antimicrobial resistance genes. This genomic characterization provides evidence for potential cross-transmission between food and human sources.
Use Cases
- Compare serotype distribution between clinical and food isolates based on the 28 identified serovars.
- Analyze antimicrobial resistance patterns based on phenotypic resistance rates to amoxicillin, piperacillin, minocycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
- Study genetic relatedness and potential cross-transmission based on phylogenomic analysis revealing close SNP distances between pork and clinical isolates.
- Investigate discrepancies between antimicrobial resistance genes and phenotypes based on the 91 detected ARGs.
- Assess virulence potential based on the gene-content pattern described for S. Rissen isolates.
Strengths
- Includes 173 isolates with clear source breakdown: 101 from patients and 72 from food samples.
- Provides genomic data from whole-genome sequencing, covering serovars, resistance genes, and virulence genes.
- Contains temporal and geographic specificity: isolates collected in Ruian, China during 2020–2021.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
