Foodborne Salmonella is the main cause of salmonellosis in China. Porcine animals are a reservoir for this bacterium consequently posing a threat to food safety and public health. In this study, 157 out of 240 pork samples (65.42 %) were identified as Salmonella-positive. From these, after isolation and deduplication, 376 Salmonella isolates were collected. Twenty four serovars were identified based on WGS, among which S. London/ST155 (24.47 %), S. Rissen/ST469 (23.40 %), S. Derby/ST40 (13.56 %), and S. 4,[5],12:i:- (monophasic S. Typhimurium)/ST34 (13.30 %) were dominant. In all, 69.68 % (262/376) of these isolates expressed multidrug resistance (MDR, defined as resistance to compounds in three or more antimicrobial classes) phenotypes with S. London (54.35 %, 50/92) accounting for the highest proportion of these. Notably, the resistance to front-line critically important antimicrobial agents (CIA), including cephalosporins, ciprofloxacin, and azithromycin was 0.80 %. Based on in silico analysis, antimicrobial resistant-encoding genes (ARG) identified in the MDR isolates included aac(3)-IId, aac(6')-Iaa, bla
