Plasmids from select Salmonella isolates were conjugated into Escherichia coli recipients, and their AMP MICs, SAM resistance phenotypes, and blaTEM expression were quantified. SAM-resistant Salmonella isolates displayed \u223c5.4-fold higher average AMP MIC and significantly elevated blaTEM expression levels compared to SAM-susceptible control. Conjugation experiments revealed differences in AMP MICs and SAM resistance phenotypes between Salmonella donors and E. coli transconjugants. An AMP MIC breakpoint of 1024\u00a0ppm ostensibly confers resistance to SAM in Salmonella.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Host-dependent blaTEM overexpression and resulting \u03b2-lactamase hyperproduction can lead to atypical SAM resistance in Salmonella.
