Global Genomic Characterization of Salmonella enterica Serovar Telelkebir.

ABSTRACT: Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is a common cause for self-limiting gastroenteritis, representing a public health concern globally. NTS is one of the leading causes of foodborne illnesses in China; however, the invasive infection caused by NTS is largely underappreciated. Here, we reported an NTS invasive infection caused by an infrequently reported serovar Telelkebir (13,23:d:e,n,z15) strain FJ001 in China, which carries antimicrobial-resistant genes [fosA7 and aac(6')-Iaa] and typhoid-toxin genes (cdtB, pltA, and pltB). By conducting the whole genomic sequencing, we also investigated the relatedness of this strain with an additional 120 global contextual Salmonella enterica serovar Telelkebir (S. Telelkebir) isolates, and assessed th
