The genomic diversity and antimicrobial resistance of Non-typhoidal Salmonella in humans and food animals in Northern India.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) serovars are the leading global cause of gastroenteritis and have established reservoirs in food animals.

Gap statement

Due to a lack of surveillance, there is limited information on the distribution of NTS serovars in India.

Aim

Here, we investigated the epidemiology, sequence types, serovar distribution, phylogenetic relatedness, and antimicrobial resistance patterns of NTS in humans and animals across a large geographic area in Northern India.

Methodology

We collected stool samples from patients with diarrhea who presented to 14 laboratories in Chandigarh and from five states in India (Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan). We sequenced the genomes and analyzed 117 NTS organisms isol
