Invasive Salmonella infections among children in Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo: a 6-year retrospective review

Abstract: Background Invasive Salmonella infections result in significant morbidity and mortality in developing countries. In Asia, typhoid and paratyphoid fever are reported to be the major invasive Salmonella infections, while invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) infections are believed to be uncommon. Data from Sarawak, in Malaysian Borneo, are limited. Methods A retrospective study identifyin… Show more

“…It was confirmed in our study with the incidence of diarrhea being significantly higher in the non-iNTS infection cases. In addition, some studies have reported that symptoms of pneumonia and respiratory distress occurred frequently in children with iNTS [ 9 , 38 , 39 ]. However, we did not find a significant difference in the morbidity of respiratory tract infection between iNTS cases and NTS cases.…”

“…The emergence of multidrug-resistant NTS strains has been reported all over the world (Ayed, 2014; Marks et al, 2017; Mohan et al, 2019), which is assumed to be due to the misuse of antibiotics in both humans and domestic livestock. It is a general practice of doctors to prescribe third-generation cephalosporins to whoever shows signs of diarrhea or infection in the city of Medina, near the Mecca area of Saudi Arabia (personal communications).…”

“…Salmonella is one of the most important causes of foodborne diarrheal disease, even bloodstream infection (Ashton et al, 2017;Mohan et al, 2019). Although colistin is not a standardized option for treating infections caused by Salmonella in humans, the increasing reports of MDR and carbapenem-resistant Salmonella, in particular strains harboring mcr-genes isolated from patients (Kock et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2019;Sun et al, 2020), indicate that these pathogens constitute a public health concern which calls more attention to the epidemic characteristics of colistin resistance.…”
