Genomic Diversity and Potential Transmission and Persistence of Salmonella in the Cambodian Vegetable Supply Chain.

S. enterica isolates (n = 78) obtained from the vegetable supply chain (farms, distribution centers, markets) in two Cambodian provinces (Siem Reap, Battambang) were sequenced and analyzed. In silico identification of serotypes and detection of antimicrobial resistance genes was performed using SISTR and ABRicate, respectively.

Comparison of the performance of multiple whole-genome sequence-based tools for the identification of biovar .

The (.) species comprises strains of biovar () known for their bioinsecticidal activity, as well as strains with foodborne pathogenic potential. strains are identified (i) based on the production of insecticidal crystal proteins, also known as Bt toxins, or (ii) based on the presence of , , and genes, which encode Bt toxins.
