Urban rats as carriers of invasive Salmonella Typhimurium sequence type 313, Kisangani, Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract: Background Invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS–mainly serotypes Enteritidis and Typhimurium) are major causes of bloodstream infections in children in sub-Saharan Africa, but their reservoir remains unknown. We assessed iNTS carriage in rats in an urban setting endemic for iNTS carriage and compared genetic profiles of iNTS from rats with those isolated from humans. Methodology/Principal findings From April 2016 to December 2018, rats were trapped in five marketplaces and a slaughterhouse in Kisangani, D… Show more

“…This network provides a free blood culture service integrated into patient care. The purpose of this network is to monitor bacteria involved in bloodstream infections and their antibiotic resistance profiles (Falay et al, 2016 , 2022 ). For the indications, sampling, and workup [identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST)] of blood cultures, we refer to the article by Tack et al ( 2021 ).…”

“…For the indications, sampling, and workup [identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST)] of blood cultures, we refer to the article by Tack et al ( 2021 ). As part of the surveillance study, blood culture isolates were shipped to the INRB and ITM for reference testing (confirmation, serotyping, and AST) and stored at −80°C for further analysis (Falay et al, 2016 , 2022 ).…”
