- The study reports the first cases of Salmonella Grumpensis in neonatal infections in Senegal, isolating 17 strains from hospitalized infants.
- Most strains exhibited antibiotic resistance, including the presence of the blaCTX-M-109 gene, and all 13 analyzed strains were found to be genetically identical.
