Purpose: Invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in African countries. However, the incidence in Indian subcontinent remains poorly documented. This study has assessed the incidence of iNTS in India with a perspective on its AMR profiles and serovar distribution for a period of 21 years from 2000 to 2020 from a tertiary care centre in South India.

The isolates were identified as subsp serovar Ceyco and serovar Hillegersberg by Wole genome sequencing (WGS) based serotype prediction. The genomic similarity of study isolates was identified by clustering with the global collection of sp.

Background: The steady increase in the proportion of Non-typhoidal (NTS) infections in humans represents a major health problem worldwide. The current study investigated the serovar distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility trends of NTS isolated from faecal samples during the period 2000-2018.
Methods: Faecal specimens of patients were cultured according to standard lab protocol.
