Typhoid fever should be considered in the diagnosis of any patient with a fever from the Asian community even in the absence of a travel history to an endemic region. Blood cultures taken prior to antibiotics are the best way of making the diagnosis early and preventing the complications that arise from a prolonged bacteraemia.

Non-typhoid Salmonella (NTS) includes many serotypes that differ in host, geographic distribution, and virulence. We report the case of a 64-year-old man who developed enteritis caused by Salmonella Kedougou without bacteremia after returning from Thailand. The patient stayed in Chiang Mai, Thailand, for 10 days to play golf and was hospitalized with fever, chills, watery diarrhea, and vomiting on the day the patient returned to Japan.

We report two cases of patients with extensively drug-resistant Salmonella Typhi infection who had recently traveled to Pakistan. These cases suggest that obtaining a detailed travel history and considering the epidemiology of drug-resistant S. Typhi in the suspected area of acquisition is crucial for managing patients with typhoid fever.

Article Synopsis
- Salmonella enterica serovar Panama is a significant cause of invasive non-typhoidal salmonellosis in Australia, despite being understudied, with a high incidence rate linked to international travel.
- A study analyzed genomic epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance in S. Panama isolates in Victoria from 2000 to 2021, finding that over half exhibited multi-drug resistance, and colistin resistance was identified in one isolate.
- The research also explored the growth dynamics of S. Panama in macrophages, revealing its ability to replicate more effectively compared to S. enterica serovar Typhimurium, although no specific genotype was linked to this enhanced replication.
