Epidemics of Invasive <i>Salmonella enterica</i> Serovar Enteritidis and <i>S. enterica</i> Serovar Typhimurium Infection Associated with Multidrug Resistance among Adults and Children in Malawi

Abstract

These data have important implications for the treatment of severe febrile illness in adults and children in tropical Africa. Further understanding of the molecular basis of these epidemics of multidrug-resistant NTS infection, including ongoing whole-genome sequencing of multidrug-resistant isolates, will yield important tools for the study of NTS pathogenesis, transmission, epidemiology, and prevention.
