Salmonellosis is a significant public health concern around the world. The issue of antibiotic resistance, particularly in non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS), global threat to human and animal health. Thirty-five enterica subsp. serotype Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) isolated from various chicken samples were tested for antimicrobial-resistant profiling using disc diffusion method. strains further e...

Aim: The aims of the study were to determine the prevalent and multiple drug resistance indexes of typhoidal and non-typhoidal Salmonella isolates recovered from the stool samples of hospitalized patients in Kano metropolis. Study design: The study is a descriptive crosssectional study. Place and duration of study: Stool specimen was collected from each patient with some or all clinical feature...

Her history included systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and use of immunosuppressive drugs. The patient’s general condition was poor with fever and tenderness in the a...

Background While whole genome sequencing (WGS) may be more expensive than traditional testing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), simple cost comparisons ignore the potential for WGS to reduce societal costs of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica through public health action prevent illness. Methods We determined how many cases use data would need cost-equal serotyping MLVA, or culture independe...

Strains of the various Salmonella enterica serovars cause gastroenteritis or typhoid fever in humans, with virulence depending on the action of two type III secretion systems (Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 [SPI-1] and SPI-2). SptP is a Salmonella SPI-1 effector, involved in mediating recovery of the host cytoskeleton postinfection. SptP requires a chaperone, SicP, for stability and secretio...
