Abstract

Salmonellaenterica serovar Kentucky is an emergent human pathogen. Human infection with ciprofloxacin-resistant S. enterica Kentucky ST198 has been reported in Europe and North America as a consequence of travel to Asia/the Middle East. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first study reporting the identification of this epidemic clone in India and South Asia.

Keywords: India; antimicrobial resistance; fluoroquinolone; non-typhoidal Salmonella; whole-genome sequencing.

The phylogenetic structure of S.enterica Kentucky from WGS. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree was reconstructed from SNPs across the S. enterica Kentucky genome. The country, host species and year of isolation are identified on the branch tips; Indian isolates from this study are in red script. The terminal circles are coloured according to the mutations in gyrA and parC genes (see key). The heat map corresponds to the presence (red) and absence (grey) of AMR genes.
