Salmonella enterica Serovar Panama, an Understudied Serovar Responsible for Extraintestinal Salmonellosis Worldwide

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 cause this systemic infection, known as invasive nontyphoidal salmonellosis. Here, we present a focused minireview on Salmonella enterica serovar Panama, a serovar responsible for invasive salmonellosis worldwide. S. Panama has been linked with infection of extraintestinal sites in humans, causing septicemia, meningitis, and osteomyelitis. The clinical picture is often complicated by antimicrobial resistance and has been associated with a large repertoire of transmission vehicles, including human feces and breast milk. Nonhuman sources of S. Panama involve reptiles and environmental reservoirs, as well as food animals, such as pigs. The tendency of S. Panama to cause invasive disease may be linked to certain serovar-specific genetic factors.

“…Salmonella panama, a member of O serogroup D 1 , is consistently one of the most commonly isolated serotypes from humans with nontyphoidal salmonellosis in the United Kingdom and other countries (2,23). The serotype generally causes gastroenteritis, but it is one of several serotypes that tend to cause disease more invasive than that caused by other serotypes (29) and is associated with bacteremias and meningitis (19) as well as pelvic inflammatory disease (18).…”

Molecular subtyping scheme for Salmonella panama

We describe a genotyping scheme for Salmonella panama. Defined probes specific for the 16S rRNA gene and the DNA insertion element IS200 were generated by PCR from S. panama and were used to probe genomic Southern blots made with enzymes selected to cut within and outside the probed sequences. Plasmid profiles were determined. The typeability and discriminatory power of the individual methods were compared. Ribotyping with 16S rRNA gene probe alone was slightly more discriminatory than phage typing, but unlike the latter, ribotyping was able to type all strains. IS200 profiling was the single most discriminatory method for S. panama, having an index of discrimination (D) of 0.8 and 100% typeability. Plasmid profiling, which had moderate discriminatory power but only 50% typeability, was valuable as an adjunct technique. The use of all three methods together or simply the combination of IS200 profiling with the two most discriminatory enzymes and plasmid profiling yielded a molecular typing scheme whose discriminatory power (D ‫؍‬ 0.97) approached the maximum theoretical value. This should prove both useful and robust for epidemiological investigations of S. panama.

The diversity, evolution and ecology of Salmonella in venomous snakes

et al. 2019

Background Reptile-associated Salmonella bacteria are a major, but often neglected cause of both gastrointestinal and bloodstream infection in humans globally. The diversity of Salmonella enterica has not yet been determined in venomous snakes, however other ectothermic animals have been reported to carry a broad range of Salmonella bacteria. We investigated the prevalence and diversity of Salmonella in a collection of venomous snakes and non-venomous reptiles. Methodology/Principle findings We used a combination of selective enrichment techniques to establish a unique dataset of reptilian isolates to study Salmonella enterica species-level evolution and ecology and used whole-genome sequencing to investigate the relatedness of phylogenetic groups. We observed that 91% of venomous snakes carried Salmonella , and found that a diverse range of serovars ( n = 58) were carried by reptiles. The Salmonella serovars belonged to four of the six Salmonella enterica subspecies: diarizonae , enterica , houtanae and salamae . Subspecies enterica isolates were distributed among two distinct phylogenetic clusters, previously described as clade A (52%) and clade B (48%). We identified metabolic differences between S . diarizonae , S . enterica clade A and clade B involving growth on lactose, tartaric acid, dulcitol, myo -inositol and allantoin. Significance We present the first whole genome-based comparative study of the Salmonella bacteria that colonise venomous and non-venomous reptiles and shed new light on Salmonella evolution. Venomous snakes examined in this study carried a broad range of Salmonella , including serovars which have been associated with disease in humans such as S . Enteritidis. The findings raise the possibility that venomous snakes could be a reservoir for Salmonella serovars associated with human salmonellosis.
