Little information is available on the genotypic characteristics of human  in Spain. This study is based on an analysis of the resistome, virulome, and phylogenetic relationship, antibiogram prediction, and antimicrobial susceptibility of 114 human isolates of  from a tertiary hospital in southern Spain from October 2020 to June 2023. The isolates were sequenced using Illumina technology, and a bioinformatic analysis was subsequently performed. The susceptibility of  isolates to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, and erythromycin was also tested. The resistance rates for each antibiotic were 90.3% for ciprofloxacin, 66.7% for tetracycline, and 0.88% for erythromycin. The fluoroquinolone resistance rate obtained is well above the European average (69.1%). CC-21 ( = 23), ST-572 ( = 13), and ST-6532 ( = 13) were the most prevalent clonal complexes (CCs) and sequence types (STs). In the virulome, the , and  genes were detected in all the isolates. A prevalence of 20.1% was obtained for the genes  and , which are related to the pathogenesis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The prevalence of the main antimicrobial resistance markers detected were CmeABC (92.1%), RE-cmeABC (7.9%), the T86I substitution in  (88.9%),  (72.6%) (65.8%), and  (17.1%). High antibiogram prediction rates (&gt;97%) were obtained, except for in the case of the erythromycin-resistant phenotype. This study contributes significantly to the knowledge of  genomics for the prevention, treatment, and control of infections caused by this pathogen.IMPORTANCEDespite being the pathogen with the greatest number of gastroenteritis cases worldwide,  remains a poorly studied microorganism. A sustained increase in fluoroquinolone resistance in human isolates is a problem when treating  infections. The development of whole genome sequencing (WGS) techniques has allowed us to better understand the genotypic characteristics of this pathogen and relate them to antibiotic resistance phenotypes. These techniques complement the data obtained from the phenotypic analysis of  isolates. The zoonotic transmission of  through the consumption of contaminated poultry supports approaching the study of this pathogen through &quot;One Health&quot; approach. In addition, due to the limited information on the genomic characteristics of  in Spain, this study provides important data and allows us to compare the results with those obtained in other countries.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue></record></records></xml>
