Bloodstream infections caused by nontyphoidal Salmonella are a major public health
concern in Africa, causing ~49,600 deaths every year. The most common Salmonella enterica …

Temperate phages are pervasive in bacterial genomes, existing as vertically inherited
islands termed prophages. Prophages are vulnerable to predation of their host bacterium by …

Objectives We aimed to describe the genomic epidemiology of the foodborne gastrointestinal
pathogen, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serotype O26:H11 belonging to …

Introduction. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a zoonotic, foodborne
gastrointestinal pathogen that has the potential to cause severe clinical outcomes, including …

Introduction. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 has been the most
clinically significant STEC serotype in the UK for over four decades. Over the last 10 years we …

Background Reptile-associated Salmonella bacteria are a major, but often neglected cause
of both gastrointestinal and bloodstream infection in humans globally. The diversity of …

Introduction. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) belong to a diverse group of
gastrointestinal pathogens defined by the presence of Shiga toxin genes (stx) of which there …

In recent years, novel lineages of invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) serovars
Typhimurium and Enteritidis have been identified in patients with bloodstream infection in Sub-…

Introduction. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) belong to a diverse group of
gastrointestinal pathogens. The pathogenic potential of STEC is enhanced by the presence of …

In recent years nontyphoidal Salmonella has emerged as one of the pathogens most frequently
isolated from the bloodstream in humans. Only a small group of Salmonella serovars …
