High-risk antimicrobial resistance genomic traits in multidrug-resistant Salmonella across China’s food chain: projections to 2050

A study projects the spread of high-risk antimicrobial resistance traits in multidrug-resistant Salmonella throughout China's food chain up to 2050, highlighting the complex factors driving AMR including antibiotic use, urbanization, and climate. Salmonella remains a leading cause of foodborne illness and death globally, with China facing significant challenges due to widespread antibiotic use and rapid development.
