Whole-genome sequencing of three ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella Reading (ST93) strains, an emerging Salmonella serovar in the poultry sector of Pakistan.

In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing of three ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella Reading strains isolated from poultry meat. Genomes of S. Reading strains contained an average of 4.81 Mbp size with 52.1% GC. The isolates exhibited blaOXA-10, aac [6']-Iaa, aadA1, cmlA1, qnrS1, and tetA resistance genes and IncX1 and IncX2 plasmids.
