Salmonella Serovar and Antimicrobial Resistance in South Korean Livestock, 2019–2024

2019–2024 longitudinal data on 4,198 Salmonella isolates from cattle, pigs, chickens, and ducks in South Korea. The dataset includes serovar distribution, antimicrobial resistance profiles, and molecular characterization of colistin resistance genes. It was authored by Md. Sekendar Ali and shared on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Tracking temporal trends in Salmonella serovar prevalence based on the 2019–2024 longitudinal data
• Analyzing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) rates across different livestock species
• Studying the molecular epidemiology of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance (mcr-1 gene) and its potential for zoonotic transmission

Strengths

• Contains 4,198 isolates providing a substantial sample size for analysis
• Covers a 6-year time period (2019–2024) enabling longitudinal trend analysis
• Includes molecular characterization data such as plasmid types (IncX4, IncI2) and resistance gene (mcr-1) identification

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count for the underlying data tables is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is small (54.3 KB), suggesting it may contain summary statistics rather than raw isolate-level records
