Genotypic diversity and zoonotic potential of Salmonella enterica from multiple hosts: implications for One Health
) and corresponding phenotypic resistance, supporting the potential utility of WGS-based resistance prediction. The frequent co-occurrence of resistance and virulence determinants, often linked to mobile genetic elements, may enhanced capacity of these strains to persist, disseminate, and cause disease across different host species. Although limited by sample size and geographic scope, this study provides insights into the genetic diversity and potential epidemiological relevance of S. enterica within the studied context circulating among domestic and wild animals in Brazil. The findings highlight the circulation of genetically diverse and potentially high-risk strains, including non-enterica subspecies associated with severe systemic infection, and emphasize the value of integrated phenotypic and genomic surveillance to support risk assessment and inform prevention and control strategies.
