Multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Muenchen from pigs and humans and potential interserovar transfer of antimicrobial resistance.

PMID 15673725 · 2005

The study identifies several AMR genes in multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Muenchen isolates from pigs and humans, including blaOXA-30, aadA2, aphA1-Iab, tetA(B), blaTEM, strA, cmlA, and tetA(A). These genes confer resistance to various antibiotics such as ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, streptomycin, kanamycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and gentamicin.
