Prevalence, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Genomic Characterization of <i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium Isolated in Hengyang, China (2020–2023)
<i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium ST34 is the dominant multidrug-resistant lineage in Hengyang, characterized by a larger resistome and unique virulence factors. Its close phylogenetic relationship with strains from southern and eastern China, combined with active mobile genetic elements, underscores its role in regional dissemination and adaptive evolution.
