This study conducted short-read sequencing analysis of the ESI clone of Salmonella Infantis in poultry in the United States, finding that this clone first appeared in retail meats in Tennessee in 2014 and had spread nationwide by 2019, comprising 29% of all Salmonella isolated from retail chickens and 7% from retail turkey. Long-read sequencing data showed substantial recombination in the pESI plasmid, resulting in the presence of multiple resistance genes.
Recently, there have been reports worldwide of a multidrug-resistant, emergent Salmonella Infantis (ESI) clone with a large megaplasmid (pESI), often containing the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase gene bla(CTX-M-65). This clone also has a gyrA mutation conferring fluoroquinolone resistance, further limiting treatment options. In the United States, this clone has also been found in poultry sources, indicating a likely source of human illnesses. We conducted short-read sequencing of Salmonella enterica isolated from retail meats as part of routine surveillance by the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS). We analyzed the resulting data temporally and geographically to determine when and where the ESI clone has spread in the United States. We found the ESI clone was first found in retail meats in Tennessee in 2014, but by 2019 was throughout the United States and comprised 29% of all Salmonella isolated from retail chickens, and 7% from retail turkey. Of these isolates, 85.0% were within 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of those causing human illnesses. Long-read sequencing data indicated substantial recombination in the pESI plasmid resulting in the presence of 0-10 resistance genes, despite all their chromosomes being within 31 SNPs of one another. This work demonstrates the rapid spread of this clone of Salmonella Infantis in poultry in the United States, with the potential for increased burden of human illness attributed to this multidrug-resistant pathogen.
