Salmonella Dublin (S. Dublin) and Typhimurium Typhimurium) are commonly linked to bovine salmonellosis. S. is, however, considered a bovine-adapted serovar for primarily infecting thriving in cattle. Using (a generalist serovar) as benchmark, this study investigates genomic factors contributing Dublin’s adaptation cattle hosts the U.S. A total of 1337 787 whole-genome sequences from sources were analyzed with CARD (version 4.0.0), ARG-NOTT 6), AMRfinderPlus 4.0.3) antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes; VFDB virulence AMRFinderPlus stress Plasmidfinder plasmids. Existing clonal groups among isolates two serovars also investigated using Hierarchical Clustering Core Genome Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (HierCC-cgMLST) model. The results revealed minimal variation isolates. Comparatively, IncX1 plasmid was somewhat exclusively identified each carried an average four plasmids (p-value < 0.05). Furthermore, exhibited higher prevalence AMR genes against key antimicrobials, including aminoglycosides, beta-lactams, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, used production. Additionally, Type VI secretion system tssJKLM hcp2/tssD2, essential colonization, found over 50% these possessing that confer heavy metal stressors, like mercury. These findings suggest is supported by conserved genetic makeup enriched genes, factors, stress-related enabling it colonize persist gut.
