The genomic approach of antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella Typhimurium isolates from guinea pigs in Lima, Peru.

Salmonella Typhimurium is an important agent of foodborne diseases. In Peru, the emergence of multidrug-resistant isolates of S. Typhimurium from the food chain could be linked to guinea pig farming as a potential reservoir and their uncontrolled antibiotic treatment against salmonellosis.

Genomic Characterization of Typhimurium Isolated from Guinea Pigs with Salmonellosis in Lima, Peru.

subsp. serovar Typhimurium ( Typhimurium) is one of the most important foodborne pathogens that infect humans globally. The gastrointestinal tracts of animals like pigs, poultry or cattle are the main reservoirs of serotypes.
