Abstract

The recent emergence and dissemination of mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes have triggered extensive concerns globally. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a colistin-susceptible Salmonella enterica serotype Minnesota strain (named SA18578), belonging to sequence type 548 (ST548) and carrying the mcr-9 gene on an IncHI2/IncHI2A plasmid, that was isolated from chicken meat in Saudi Arabia in 2020.
