“…In Co ˆte d'Ivoire, the mortality rate was estimated to reach 5% from Salmonella infections. From studies carried out between 2005 and 2009 among isolated serotypes, NTS was prevalent [33]. It was noted from this study that S. Enteritidis is most dominant among hospital isolates, while S. Typhimurium serovar was the least dominant.…”

Introduction Salmonella is one of the most common causes of food-borne outbreaks and infection worldwide. Non-typhoid Salmonella (NTS) infections are common and remain a significant public health problem among important bacterial foodborne diseases. The current study aimed to establish the Non typhoid Salmonella infection and antimicrobial resistance status among selected patients at Morogoro Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH), Morogoro Region, Tanzania, to inform clinical care management and public health interventions. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted using medical records and samples were collected from hospitalised and outpatients between October and December 2021. A total of 153 participants were enrolled in the study and 132 consented to being sampled. The collected samples were analysed using standard microbiological techniques. The isolates were subjected to molecular genotyping, where Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed targeting the 16S rDNA gene. PCR products were then submitted for sequencing to establish phylogenetic relatedness. Results The phylogenetic analysis identified two Salmonella serovars; Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium. The isolates were from four adults and seven children patients. The isolates were tested against six antimicrobial agents: tetracycline, trimethoprim, gentamycin, ciprofloxacin, ampicillin and cefotaxime. Further antimicrobial assays were performed by screening 10 antimicrobial resistance genes using PCR. Overall, the highest resistance was observed in ampicillin (100%), whereas the lowest resistance was recorded for ciprofloxacin and gentamicin (9.1%). In addition, four (36.4%) of the isolates were resistant to cefotaxime and three (27.3%) to tetracycline and trimethoprim. The isolates also exhibit the presence of resistance genes for sulfamethoxazole 1&2, tetracycline (tet) A&B, Beta-lactamase CTXM, Beta-lactamase TEM, Beta-lactamase SHV, Gentamycine, Acra and acc3-1 in different occurrences. In conclusion, the overall prevalence of Salmonella species in Morogoro region was 8.3% (11/132) with Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium being the only serovars detected from adults and children stool samples. Conclusion Our investigation showed that both children and adults had been exposed to Salmonella spp. However, the occurrence of NTS was higher in children (5.3% (7/132) compared to adults (3.0% (4/132). To stop zoonotic infections and the development of antimicrobial resistance in the community, this calls for Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and stewardship programmes on rational use of antimicrobials in both health facilities and at the community level.

“…From a bibliographic comparison of various studies on serotyping of Salmonella spp., conducted in the District of Abidjan, no isolation of this serovar has ever emerged in the different matrices of human and animal origin (poultry, cattle) (Boni-Cissé et al 2012 ; Bonny et al 2015 ; Yao et al 2017 ).…”

Reptiles, including snakes, can be asymptomatically infected with multiple pathogen microorganisms, including Salmonella spp., which is considered an important concern for public and animal health. Small and uninhabited isles are quite ecologically different from mainland and represent interesting fields of study, to discover unexpected biological and microbiological aspects of their wild inhabitants. This work reports the presence of the very rare Salmonella enterica serovar Yopougon, isolated in a carcass of a native wild snake (Hierophis viridiflavus) from an Italian uninhabited island of Mediterranean Sea, Montecristo. To our knowledge, S. enterica serovar Yopougon was previously isolated only once 34 years earlier in Ivory Coast, from a human fecal sample. In the present study, we present the genomic characterization of the new isolate, the phylogenetic comparison with the previously isolated S. enterica serovar Yopougon strain of human origin and with other sequences available in public databases. In addition, an extensive review of available data in the literature and from our case history is provided. Our finding represents an example of the ability of some pathogens to travel for very long distances within their hosts and then to infect others, even from different taxa.

“…With poor potable drinking water, poor sanitation, and indiscriminate abuse of antibiotics in most developing countries including Nigeria, it is not surprising that we found 6.3% of infections with MDR NTS, which is endemic to sub‐Saharan Africa, where it is a leading cause of bloodstream infection in adults . In a retrospective study done in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, the prevalence of NTS infection was reported to be 76.1% of salmonella infections, with an MDR rate of 34.1% . Contrary to the NTS infection in normal hosts, such infection in renal transplant recipients manifest as severe infection, mostly as bacteremia and extra‐intestinal foci , and usually occurs when immunosuppression is high (early in the post‐transplant period, or after anti‐rejection therapy) .…”
