Article Synopsis
- One case of extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi was identified and analyzed through whole-genome sequencing.
- The strain showed similarities to an existing strain with the blaSHV-12 gene from the Philippines.
- This finding suggests that the strain may be part of an undiscovered outbreak, marking the first instance of ESBL-producing S. Typhi.
