Fresh Produce as a Reservoir of Multidrug-Resistant Microorganisms: A Public Health Perspective
Bacterial contamination leading to foodborne infections represents a significant global public health issue. Agricultural practices have been implicated in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria associated with both humans and animals. In this study, we present the first complete genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus xylosus strain, FFCShyA4, isolated from commercially sourced avocados.
