We established the largest Salmonella genome database from China and presented the landscape and spatiotemporal dynamics of antimicrobial resistance genes. We also found that economic, climatic, and social factors can drive the rise of antimicrobial resistance. The Chinese local Salmonella genome database version 2 was released as an open-access database (https://nmdc.cn/clsgdbv2) and thus can assist surveillance studies across the globe. This database will help inform interventions for AMR, food safety, and public health.
