“…26,27 The first case of bacteremia from India was from an adult febrile patient in whom S. Choleraesuis was isolated from both blood and urine cultures. 31 Recovery rate was good in our study and the death recorded in a patient infected with S. Typhi. Few of the previous studies have discussed high rates of mortality (47%) with NTS bacteremia which could be ascribed to the severity of the underlying disease and the serovars of NTS.…”

“…29 In India, only a few studies and reports have documented the isolation of NTS from blood, with no predominant serotype. 30,31 S. Choleraesuis has been reported from Thailand 27,32 and is the second common human Salmonellosis causing serotype in Taiwan. 26,27 The first case of bacteremia from India was from an adult febrile patient in whom S. Choleraesuis was isolated from both blood and urine cultures.…”

“…continues to be an important cause of BSI and poses a major health problem. Recently, NTS due to S. Choleraesuis has been identified in immunocompromised individuals suffering from BSIs in Indian subcontinent, 30,31 so in future more antiseras against it should be kept available in microbiology laboratory. Also, increased occurrence of antimicrobial resistance is a global concern and developing countries are more prone to the catastrophic consequence.…”

Background Species distribution and antibiotic resistance pattern of Salmonella varies with time and place. Rapid and correct use of antibiotics requires understanding of the distribution and drug resistance patterns. Therefore, we aimed to study the clinical profile of patients along with speciation and antibiogram of Salmonella isolates from blood. Material and Methods It is an observational study, conducted from December 2019 to December 2021 at our university hospital. Blood cultures were processed by automated blood culture system. Salmonella isolates were identified by their morphological properties, biochemical reaction, and serological tests. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern was assessed by Kirby–Bauer's disc diffusion method and Phoenix automated system. Results The male-to-female ratio of the patients in the study was 2.5:1 and the mean age of the patients was 11.7 years (1–27 years). Salmonella spp. was isolated from 21 patients out of 1,350 positive blood cultures. Nine isolates were identified as S. Typhi seven as S. Choleraesuis three as S. Paratyphi A and two as S. Paratyphi B. Immunocompromised conditions were significantly associated in nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteremia (p = 0.0253). Isolates showed maximum resistance toward nalidixic acid (100%) followed by fluoroquinolones (52.4%). Multidrug resistance, extreme drug resistance, and azithromycin resistance was seen in 14.3, 4.8, and 4.8% isolates, respectively. Posttreatment recovery was observed in 20 patients. Conclusion Emergence of S. Choleraesuis among Salmonella spp. in blood stream infection, next only to S. Typhi was noted. Rising drug resistance is a matter of concern.

Non Typhoidal Salmonellae (NTS) is emerging as a major health problem. NTS serovars have a wide variety of host range varying from domestic animals, aquatic fauna, reptiles, arthropods, leafy vegetables and many more. This zoonotic infection manifests as self limited gastroenteritis associated with food poisoning to fatal extra intestinal invasive infections. In this overview, an attempt is made to compile the documented reports due to NTS from Indian subcontinent for the last 5 decades, searching the available databases. These reports emphasizes the role of NTS in diverse clinical infections and the possible links of transmission. Prophylactic measures such as adoption of quality measures in fish and meat processing units, vaccination of farm animals, serotyping of all NTS strains, above all health education and public awareness program should be made mandatory to minimize the incidence of NTS in our country.
