We investigated a 2018 outbreak of highly antimicrobial-resistant <i>Salmonella enterica</i> serotype Goldcoast in northern Taiwan.<h4>Methods</h4>We collected 30 clinical isolates and 2 meat isolates from this outbreak in New Taipei and Taoyuan, Taiwan in 2018. The clinical manifestations and the treatment of the patients were reviewed. To trace the source, we examined NTS isolated from food samples collected from the markets in northern Taiwan. All of the isolates along with an additional human isolate from China were sequenced and compared with the sequences of <i>Salmonella</i> Goldcoast reported by other countries.<h4>Results</h4>The outbreak involved 14 pediatric patients (<5 years oOpen forum infectious diseasesEmergence and Evolution of High-Level Cephalosporin-Resistant <i>Salmonella</i> Goldcoast in Northern Taiwan.PMC6916519MOHW108-CDC-C-114-133505MOHW107-CDC-C-114-123505CMRPG3A1111-3CMRPG3D1721-3CRRPG3F0083MOHW106-CDC-C-114-113702CMRPG3G1451-3CMRPG3E1371-3Li HCChiu CHChang YJFang SHFeng YYang HPYu MJSu LHfalseEmergence and Evolution of High-Level Cephalosporin-Resistant <i>Salmonella</i> Goldcoast in Northern Taiwan.<h4>Background</h4>Nontyphoidal <i>Salmonella</i> (NTS) is an important foodborne pathogen worldwide.
