Global spread of salmonella enterica due to centralized industrialization of pig farming

We provide evidence that intensive industrialization over the past century, particularly of the livestock trade, has facilitated host jumps and accumulation of antimicrobial resistance genes

in _Salmonella enterica_, leading to the global transmission of this pathogen from Europe and the USA during the height of pork production. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe
