A Fatal Case of Acute Gastroenteritis with Sepsis due to Salmonella enterica Serovar Kentucky in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report

Ceftriaxone Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Kentucky as a Cause of Bacteremia and Gastroenteritis: A Case Report

“…In this case reported, the Salmonella Kentucky isolate was resistant to ampicillin and ceftriaxone which is unlike the isolate of Salmonella Kentucky isolated by Neelambike and Shivappa from Mysuru, South India, Karnataka, India, during 2019, that was sensitive to ampicillin and ceftriaxone. 1 While isolates of Salmonella Kentucky and Salmonella Virchow isolated by Sharma et al during 2020 from in and around Delhi, have reported that 72% of the isolates were resistant to ampicillin. 2 Another study by Sudhaharan et al from Hyderabad, South India have reported that the NTS were sensitive to both ampicillin and ceftriaxone during 2020.…”

“…The subspecies are divided into two clinically relevant groups according to the disease they cause. 1 Infections within humans are restricted, among which Salmonella typhi, S. Paratyphi A, B, and C can cause invasive, life-threatening systemic diseases and are referred to as typhoid or enteric fever. On the other hand, nontyphoidal serovars normally cause self-limited gastroenteritis, associated with intestinal inflammation and diarrhea that lasts for 5 to 7 days.…”

Iron-Uptake Systems of Chicken-Associated Salmonella Serovars and Their Role in Colonizing the Avian Host

“…In addition, systemic dissemination and the ability to cause splenic lesions was reduced in pColV null background compared to the pColV positive strain, indicating that genetic factors carried in pColV plasmids are important virulence determinants during extraintestinal disease [55]. SKn is an emerging pathogen which can cause blood-born infections in humans [82][83][84], thus ColV plasmid-encoded factors including iron uptake functions most likely contribute to overall virulence.…”
