Abstract

Horses play a significant role in the direct or indirect transmission of Salmonella to humans. Here, we report the draft genomes of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Mbandaka YAH-F68 isolated from foals in Kentucky, USA belonging to sequence type 413 and harboring the mobile colistin resistance gene mcr-9.1.

Keywords: Kentucky; Salmonella; Salmonella Mbandaka; colistin resistance; draft genome; mcr; multidrug-resistant; thoroughbred foals.
