infections have increased in Europe, being more frequent than fasciolosis in some areas. Infection occurs once definitive hosts ingest encysted metacercariae present on vegetation. Following excystation, juvenile flukes penetrate the small intestinal mucosa and migrate into the rumen where adults mature.

Genomic characterization of antimicrobial-resistance and virulence factors in Salmonella isolates obtained from pig farms in Antioquia, Colombia.

Background: Occurrence of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella strains has been reported worldwide, because of inappropriate use of antimicrobial products in either humans or animals. The presence of multidrug resistant Salmonella in pig production systems had been reported in Antioquia, Colombia.

Aim: To identify antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) in different Salmonella spp.
