Typhimurium<\/jats:italic>\n                    is mediated by multiple virulence determinants, including\n                    <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    pathogenicity islands (SPI-1 and SPI-2), type III secretion systems (T3SS), fimbrial adhesins, and biofilm formation, which contribute to host cell invasion, intracellular survival, and persistence.

Typhimurium<\/jats:italic>\n                    is driven by horizontal gene transfer and chromosomal mutations, involving resistance determinants such as \u03b2-lactamase genes (\n                    <jats:italic>blaCTX-M, blaVIM<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes (\n                    <jats:italic>qnr<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), colistin resistance genes (\n                    <jats:italic>mcr<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), and mutations in target genes (e.g.,\n                    <jats:italic>gyrA, gyrB<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). These mechanisms have reduced the effectiveness of commonly used antibiotics and contributed to the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains.
