            Salmonella
            strains are important reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance. An important issue that has not been investigated is whether the multiresistant
            Salmonella
            strains are more virulent than their susceptible counterparts.
            Salmonella
            isolates collected from clinical human (
            n
            = 888) and porcine (
            n
            = 2,120) cases at the same time period and geographic location were investigated. Antimicrobial susceptibility, PCR analysis for the
            spvA
            virulence gene, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) genotyping were done. Carriage of
            spvA
            was associated with multidrug-resistant (MDR) type ACSSuT strains (odds ratio, 7.1;
            P
            < 0.05), a type often implicated in bacteremic human cases. PFGE revealed that clinical isolates from pigs were more clonally related to those of human origin than the nonclinical porcine isolates. The findings suggest that MDR strains that also carry specific virulence factors are more likely to be of clinical significance.
