Abstract

In the United States, reports of Salmonella enterica carrying mcr-1 remain rare in humans, but when observed, the infection is often associated with travel. Here, we report 14 mcr-1-positive Salmonella enterica isolates from patients in the United States that reported travel to the Dominican Republic within the 12 months before illness.
