Antimicrobial resistance profiles of <i>Campylobacter</i> spp. isolated from retail meat in Puerto Rico

Whole-genome sequencing and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed on 29 <i>Campylobacter</i> isolates from retail meat in Puerto Rico. Resistance to tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, and florfenicol was observed. Multidrug resistance was linked to co-occurrence of <i>tet(O</i>), <i>gyrA</i> mutations, and <i>cmeABC</i>, highlighting the public health risk of antimicrobial-resistant <i>Campylobacter</i> in retail meat.
