ABSTRACT: We report an outbreak of ceftriaxone-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi in Bangladesh; 47 cases were identified during April-September 2024. Isolates belonged to genotype 4.3.1.2 and harbored the bla_CTX-M-15 gene on the pCROB1 plasmid. This genotype-plasmid lineage represents a recent introduction, calling for strengthened surveillance, antimicrobial stewardship, and vaccination strategies.
