Antimicrobial susceptibility and genomic profiling of Salmonella enterica from bloodstream infections at a tertiary referral hospital in Lusaka, Zambia, 2018-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study investigated antimicrobial susceptibility and genomic profiling of S. enterica isolated from bloodstream infections at a tertiary referral hospital in Lusaka, Zambia, 2018-2019.

Method

This was a prospective hospital-based study involving routine blood culture samples submitted to the microbiology laboratory at the University Teaching Hospital. Identification of S. enterica and determination of antimicrobial susceptibility profiles was achieved through conventional and automated methods. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was conducted, and the sequence data outputs were processed for species identification, serotype determination, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) profile determination, identification of antimicrobial resistance determinants,
