Salmonella enterica resistant to colistin, third-generation cephalosporins (3GCs), and fluoroquinolones (FQs) has been deemed a high-priority pathogen by the World Health Organization (WHO). The objective of this study was to characterize 11 mcr-1-harboring Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium isolates from raw pork and ready-to-eat (RTE) pork products in Guangzhou, China. All isolates were multi-drug resistant and contained 6–24 antibiotic-resistant genes. The mcr-1 gene was localized in the most conserved structure (mcr-1-orf) in eight isolates and in mobile structure (ISApl1-mcr-1-orf) in three isolates. One raw pork isolate SH16SF0850, co-harbored mcr-1, blaCTX−M−14, and oqxAB genes. One isolate 17Sal008 carried mcr-1, blaCTX−M−14, qnrS2, and oqxAB genes located on a 298,622 bp IncHI2 plasmid pSal008, which was obtained from an RTE pork product for the first time. The pSal008 was closely related to a plasmid in an S. typhimurium isolate from a 1-year-old diarrheal outpatient in China and was found to be transferable to Escherichia coli J53 by conjugation. Genome sequence comparisons by core-genome Multi Locus Sequence Typing (cgMLST) based on all S. typhimurium isolates from China inferred highly probably epidemiological links between selected pork isolates and no possible epidemiologically links between RTE pork isolate 17Sal008 and other isolates. Our findings indicate that raw pork and pork products are potential reservoirs of mcr-1-harboring S. typhimurium and highlight the necessity for continuous monitoring of colistin, 3GCs, and FQs resistant S. typhimurium from different origins.
