Comparative Genomic Analysis Discloses Differential Distribution of Antibiotic Resistance Determinants between Worldwide Strains of the Emergent ST213 Genotype of Salmonella Typhimurium
Bibliographic record
Abstract
constitutes a global public health concern as one of the main etiological agents of human gastroenteritis. The Typhimurium serotype is frequently isolated from human, animal, food, and environmental samples, with its sequence type 19 (ST19) being the most widely distributed around the world as well as the founder genotype. The replacement of the ST19 genotype with the ST213 genotype that has multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) in human and food samples was first observed in Mexico. The number of available genomes of ST213 strains in public databases indicates its fast worldwide dispersion, but its public health relevance is unknown. A comparative genomic analysis conducted as part of this research identified the presence of 44 genes, 34 plasmids, and five point mutations associated with antibiotic resistance, distributed across 220 genomes of ST213 strains, indicating the MAR phenotype. In general, the grouping pattern in correspondence to the presence/absence of genes/plasmids that confer antibiotic resistance cluster the genomes according to the geographical origin where the strain was isolated. Genetic determinants of antibiotic resistance group the genomes of North America (Canada, Mexico, USA) strains, and suggest a dispersion route to reach the United Kingdom and, from there, the rest of Europe, then Asia and Oceania. The results obtained here highlight the worldwide public health relevance of the ST213 genotype, which contains a great diversity of genetic elements associated with MAR.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
