This study aimed to detect the virulence and antibiotic resistance genes of invasive <i>Salmonella enterica</i> from children with bacteremia in north-central Nigeria.<h4>Method</h4>From June 2015 to June 2018, 4163 blood cultures yielded 83 <i>Salmonella</i> isolates. This is a secondary cross-sectional analysis of the <i>Salmonella</i> isolates. The <i>Salmonella enterica</i> were isolated and identified using standard bacteriology protocol. Biochemical identifications of the <i>Salmonella enterica</i> were made by Phoenix MD 50 identification system. Further identification and confirmation were done with polyvalent antisera O and <i>inv</i>A gene.
