Transmission of Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Subspecies enterica 4,[5],12:i:- Sequence Type 34 between Europe and the United States.

Transmission of Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Subspecies enterica 4,[5],12:i:- Sequence Type 34 between Europe and the United States. Emerg Infect Dis. 2020 Dec;26(12):3034-3038 Authors: Elnekave E, Hong SL, Lim S, Boxrud D, Rovira A, Mather AE, Perez A, Alvarez J Abstract Multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica 4,[5],12:i:- sequence type 34 represents a worldwide public health risk. To determine its origin in the United States, we reconstructed a time-scaled phylogeny with a discrete trait geospatial model. The clone in the United States was introduced from Europe on multiple occasions in the early 2000s. PMID: 33219795 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
