AbstractSalmonella Typhimurium (STm) is a globally prevalent pathogen. We compiled a dataset comprising ~65,000 publicly available STm isolates and analysed the predicted-resistance to 15 key antibiotics. Additionally, we typed all isolates using a standardized typing method, multilevel genome typing (MGT), and characterised the resistance profiles by MGT sequence types (ST). We identified 407 MGT STs wherein at least 80% of the isolates were non-susceptible to at least one antibiotic.
