Description:
A Salmonella enterica serovar Corvallis strain was isolated from a wild bird in Germany. This strain carried the IncA/C 2 pRH-1238 plasmid. Complete sequencing of the plasmid was performed, identifying the bla NDM-1 , bla CMY-16 , fosA3 , sul1 , sul2 , strA , strB , aac(6 ' )-Ib , aadA5 , aphA6 , tetA (A), mphA , floR , dfrA7 , and merA genes, which confer clinically relevant resistance to most of the antimicrobial classes, including β-lactams with carbapenems, fosfomycin, aminoglycosides, co-trimoxazole, tetracyclines, and macrolides. The strain likely originated from the Asiatic region and was transferred to Germany through the Milvus migrans migratory route.
