The US PulseNet and GenomeTrakr laboratory networks work together within the Genomics for Food Safety (Gen-FS) consortium to collect and analyze genomic data for foodborne pathogen surveillance (species include Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli (STECs), and Campylobactor). In 2017 these two laboratory networks started harmonizing their respective proficiency test exercises, agreeing on distributing a single strain-set and following the same standard operating procedure (SOP) for genomic data collection, running a jointly coordinated annual proficiency test exercise. In this data release we are publishing the reference genomes and raw data submissions for the 2017 and 2018 proficiency test exercises.

- Salmonella serotype Typhimurium is a significant cause of foodborne illnesses, making it hard to trace infection sources due to its presence in various agricultural environments.
- Extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESC), like ceftriaxone and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, are commonly used treatments for complicated Salmonella infections, with resistance primarily linked to specific blaCMY plasmids.
- This study analyzes the differences in blaCMY plasmids and antimicrobial resistance patterns among Salmonella isolates from retail meat, food animals, and humans to potentially determine the source of infections when outbreaks occur.
