# Draft genome sequences of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky isolates from chicken samples in Bangladesh

## TL;DR

This paper presents genome sequences of drug-resistant E. coli and Salmonella from chickens in Bangladesh, helping understand antibiotic resistance and improve health strategies.

## Contribution

The study provides new genome sequences of multidrug-resistant E. coli and Salmonella from poultry in Bangladesh.

## Key findings

- Genome sequencing reveals antimicrobial resistance patterns in poultry isolates.
- The data supports understanding the population structure of these pathogens.
- Findings aid in developing One Health strategies to combat resistance.

## Abstract

Pathogenic Escherichia coli and Salmonella threaten poultry production and human health through zoonotic transmission. Whole-genome sequencing of multidrug-resistant isolates from Bangladeshi poultry provides critical insights into antimicrobial resistance and population structure, supporting integrated One Health approaches to combat antimicrobial resistance.
