Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Newport is a human pathogen underreported in most developing countries. It is known for causing gastroenteritis and extraintestinal infections. In this case report, we report the case of ceftriaxone-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Newport from South India, causing acute gastroenteritis in a sixty-year-old female patient having a history of antimicrobial therapy and recent hospital admission. Serovar Newport, especially among antibiotic-exposed patients, poses a significant public health threat due to its ability to acquire multidrug resistance. This emphasizes the necessity for robust surveillance and monitoring of nontyphoidal Salmonella infections, particularly given the limited data on serovar Newport in India. Vigilance in clinical practice and public health initiatives is crucial to effectively address the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant strains.

Dhanashree B, Shenoy S. Clinical-Microbiological Study of Nontyphoidal Salmonella Infections from Karnataka, India. SCIENTIFICA 2024; 2024:6620871. [PMID: 39045390 PMCID: PMC11265940 DOI: 10.1155/2024/6620871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
Background Nontyphoidal salmonella (NTS) are responsible for food-borne gastroenteritis and bacteremia, in immunosuppressed individuals. Antibiotic resistance in NTS is on the rise. This study reports the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of nontyphoidal salmonella in clinical samples. Study Design. This is a hospital record-based cross-sectional, retrospective study. Methods In our study, inpatient samples such as blood (n = 13546), urine (n = 11,333), pus (n = 1,010), and stool (n = 926) samples were cultured to isolate etiological agents in the microbiology department from January 2017 to June 2019. Relevant details such as duration of fever, platelet count, hemoglobin, WBC count, immune status, and mode of treatment were noted from the medical records. Data were analyzed, and continuous variables were expressed as mean and categorical variables as percentages. Results A total of 24 NTS serovars were isolated, which included ten isolates from blood, five each from urine and pus, and four from stool samples. Of the NTS, five were Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica, three were S.enterica serovar Typhimurium, one was S.enterica subsp. diarizonae, and 15 S.enterica serovars could not be serologically differentiated. All were susceptible to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and cefuroxime. However, 16.6% of NTS was resistant to ceftriaxone, 4% to cotrimoxazole, 58% to ciprofloxacin, and 75% to nalidixic acid. Conclusions A low prevalence of NTS responsible for invasive infections is seen in this part of the country. Few isolates were resistant to more than one antibiotic. A higher rate of resistance to ceftriaxone is the cause of concern. Awareness of the distribution of NTS serogroups is of epidemiological and public health significance.

Abstract
Non-typhoidal Salmonella infections (NTS) are a growing concern in India, posing a significant health risk to the population. These infections are becoming more common at worrisome rates, primarily because of inadequate surveillance. Salmonella non-typhoidal causes severe gastroenteritis and can even cause invasive infections, such as bacteremia, and focal infections, such as meningitis and septic arthritis, and is acquired through contaminated food and water sources. From moderate to severe, the symptoms might vary. Certain serovars exhibit a stronger propensity for specific syndromes, with serious infections more commonly observed in vulnerable populations. Consuming contaminated food, using inadequate sanitation procedures while handling meat from animals slaughtered, and contaminated water supplies are some of the causes of these diseases. Proper food and water treatment, better sanitary facilities, public awareness campaigns, and adherence to food safety laws are all part of prevention measures. The issue of antimicrobial resistance further emphasizes the necessity for prudent antibiotic usage. The Indian government has put in place programs including public awareness campaigns, better sanitary facilities, and stricter food safety laws. In the future, efforts should, however, concentrate on improving laws, boosting hygienic practices, and funding the development of new medicines and vaccines. These actions will lessen the burden of NTS infections in India by assisting in their prevention and management. This review aims to understand the reasons for this growing tendency, which is essential for creating efficient control and prevention strategies.

Non-typhoidal Salmonella infections across India: emergence of a neglected group of enteric pathogens. J Taibah Univ Med Sci 2022; 17:747-754. [PMID: 36050954 PMCID: PMC9396057 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtumed.2022.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Revised: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Non-typhoidal Salmonellae (NTS) are a neglected group of enteric pathogens whose prevalence is increasing at alarming rates across India. The disease burden is being underestimated because of a lack of effective surveillance of NTS infections in the Indian population. This study depicts the acquisition of NTS infection, and its persistence and spread through a diverse range of hosts, including humans and animals, and food and environmental sources. Methods During the study period from 2016 to 2018, a total of 999 suspected NTS isolates were received from across India and were phenotypically and serologically characterized for the presence of NTS. Results Of the 999 isolates, 539 (53.95%) were confirmed as NTS, consisting of 17 different NTS serovars. The majority were isolated from human samples (n = 319, 59.18%), followed by food products (n = 99, 18.37%), animals (n = 83, 15.4%) and the environment (n = 38, 7.05%). Some predominant serovars obtained included S. Typhimurium (n = 167, 30.98%), S. Lindenberg (n = 135, 25.05%), S. Enteritidis (n = 56, 10.39%), S. Weltevreden (n = 44, 8.16%), S. Choleraesuis (n = 41, 7.61%) and S. Mathura (n = 33, 6.12%). Conclusion This study depicts the NTS disease burden across India, on the basis of the isolation of NTS serovars across diverse geographic locations. The emergence of newer or less common NTS serovars implicated in human infection poses a potential challenge to the healthcare system in India. Therefore, national and regional level surveillance is needed to implement effective control strategies and safeguard community health in India.

Shi Q, Ye Y, Lan P, Han X, Quan J, Zhou M, Yu Y, Jiang Y. Prevalence and Characteristics of Ceftriaxone-Resistant Salmonella in Children's Hospital in Hangzhou, China. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:764787. [PMID: 34880840 PMCID: PMC8645868 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.764787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The non-Typhi Salmonella (NTS) infection is critical to children's health, and the ceftriaxone is the important empirical treatment choice. With the increase resistance rate of ceftriaxone in Salmonella, the molecular epidemiology and resistance mechanism of ceftriaxone-resistant Salmonella needs to be studied. From July 2019 to July 2020, a total of 205 NTS isolates were collected, 195 of which (95.1%) were cultured from stool, but 10 isolates were isolated from an extraintestinal site. Serogroup B accounted for the vast majority (137/205) among the isolates. Fifty-three isolates were resistant to ceftriaxone, and 50 were isolated from children younger than 4years of age. The resistance rates for ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin were significantly higher in younger children than the older children. The resistance genes in the ceftriaxone-susceptible isolates were detected by PCR, and ceftriaxone-resistant Salmonella were selected for further whole-genome sequencing. Whole-genome analysis showed that serotype Typhimurium and its monophasic variant was the most prevalent in ceftriaxone-resistant isolates (37/53), which comprised ST34 (33/53), ST19 (2/53), and ST99 (2/53), and they were close related in the phylogenetic tree. However, the other isolates were diverse, which included one Enteritidis (ST11), one Indiana (ST17), one Derby (ST40), four Kentucky (ST198), two Goldcoast (ST2529, ST358), one Muenster (ST321), one Virchow (ST359), one Rissen (ST469), one Kedougou (ST1543), two Uganda (ST684), and one Kottbus (ST8839). Moreover, CTX-M-55 ESBLs production (33/53) was found to be mainly responsible for ceftriaxone resistance, followed by bla CTX-M-65 (12/53), bla CTX-M-14 (4/53), bla CTX-M-9 (2/53), bla CTX-M-64 (1/53), bla CTX-M-130 (1/53), and bla CMY-2 (1/53). ISEcp1, IS903B, IS Kpn26, IS1F, and IS26 were connected to antimicrobial resistance genes transfer. In conclusion, the dissemination of ESBL-producing Salmonella isolates resulted in an increased prevalence of ceftriaxone resistance in young children. The high rate of multidrug resistance should be given additional attention.

Antimicrobial resistance in Indian isolates of non typhoidal Salmonella of livestock, poultry and environmental origin from 1990 to 2017. Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis 2021; 80:101719. [PMID: 34847457 DOI: 10.1016/j.cimid.2021.101719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2020] [Revised: 11/07/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
A retrospective antimicrobial resistance study of nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica isolates from India during 1990-2017 was conducted to study the microbial susceptibility to antibiotics. A total of 271 Salmonella enterica isolates from poultry (n = 146), farm animals (n = 55) and environmental sources (n = 70) were tested for susceptibility using 15 antimicrobial drugs. The drug classes include aminoglycosides, phenicols, cephalosporins, penicillins, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones, and sulphonamide-trimethoprim. Study revealed that overall, 133 (49.08%) of 271 isolates were resistant to ≥ 1 antimicrobial drugs and 81 (29.89%) out of 271 isolates were multidrug resistant (resistance to ≥ 3 drugs). Majority (68.96%) of Typhimurium serovars (n = 87) were susceptible to all antibiotics tested, whereas only 5% Kentucky serovars (n = 40) were pan susceptible. All the drugs revealed decreasing trend of susceptibility from 1990 towards 2017 except cephalosporins and carbapenems. Statistical analysis of association between time period and antimicrobial resistance revealed a significance of < 0.05. Molecular detection of genetic determinants associated with antimicrobial resistance revealed the presence of genes like class I integrons, sul1, sul2, catIII, cmlA, dfrA, blaTEM, blaAmpC in the resistant isolates. Furthermore, plasmid mediated quinolone resistant determinants like qnrD and qnrS were also reported in the current study.
