Genetic diversity and antimicrobial resistance of Cambodian Salmonella enterica serovars using whole-genome sequencing
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among Salmonella enterica serovars is a significant challenge for food safety and public health in Cambodia. This study investigates antimicrobial resistance genes and genetic diversity using whole-genome sequencing. A total of 75 Salmonella isolates were obtained from vegetables, meat, and seafood samples collected from open markets and farms in Cambodia. Genomic analysis was performed to characterize resistance determinants and assess diversity among isolates.
