The predicted antibiotic resistance gene information in the genome was obtained by comparing the amino acid sequences of the strains with the comprehensive antibiotic research database (CARD, http://arpcard.mcmaster.ca, accessed on 24 May 2021) [51 (link)]. The strains were clustered using HemI software [50 (link)].
The microbroth dilution method was used to determine antibiotic resistance of L. sakei according to ISO 10932:2010 [52 ]. The following 11 antibiotics were detected: chloramphenicol, rifampicin, streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamycin, tetracycline, clindamycin, neomycin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, and vancomycin (all purchased from Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China). OD625 was determined using an enzyme-labeled instrument (Varioskan Lux, Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA) to determine the MIC of strain to antibiotics.
