Abstract
Objectives
The aim of this study was to understand the status of extensively drug-resistance (XDR) genotype in Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (S. Typhi) recovered during the pre to post COVID-19 pandemic period using Multiplex PCR.
Methods
A longitudinal descriptive study was carried out during five years. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed according to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute antimicrobial susceptibility testing guidelines. The identification of S. Typhi, the detection of their high-risk lineages and XDR genotype was done using single nucleotide polymorphism-based multiplex PCR.
Results
A total of four hundred nine (n = 409) S. Typhi isolates were recovered during pre to post COVID-19 pandemic period. Among them, 30.81% belonged to the pre COVID-19 period while 69.19% to the post COVID-19 period. Different trends in antibiotic resistance in S. Typhi isolates with high prevalence of XDR-S. Typhi were observed. However, there was comparatively different frequency of their occurrence among the S. Typhi isolates recovered during pre to post COVID-19 pandemic period. Multiplex PCR showed that the majority of S. Typhi isolates were the H58 haplotype or genotype 4.3.1 which contained XDR genotype.
Conclusions
The increasing episodes of XDR-S. Typhi causing typhoid fever in endemic areas is alarming. The antibiotic resistance in food and water borne pathogens greatly contribute to the dissemination of the antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic bacteria, which has now been considered as a global concern.
期刊介绍：
(aka Journal of Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases -- MEEGID)
Infectious diseases constitute one of the main challenges to medical science in the coming century. The impressive development of molecular megatechnologies and of bioinformatics have greatly increased our knowledge of the evolution, transmission and pathogenicity of infectious diseases. Research has shown that host susceptibility to many infectious diseases has a genetic basis. Furthermore, much is now known on the molecular epidemiology, evolution and virulence of pathogenic agents, as well as their resistance to drugs, vaccines, and antibiotics. Equally, research on the genetics of disease vectors has greatly improved our understanding of their systematics, has increased our capacity to identify target populations for control or intervention, and has provided detailed information on the mechanisms of insecticide resistance.
However, the genetics and evolutionary biology of hosts, pathogens and vectors have tended to develop as three separate fields of research. This artificial compartmentalisation is of concern due to our growing appreciation of the strong co-evolutionary interactions among hosts, pathogens and vectors.
Infection, Genetics and Evolution and its companion congress [MEEGID](http://www.meegidconference.com/) (for Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases) are the main forum acting for the cross-fertilization between evolutionary science and biomedical research on infectious diseases.
Infection, Genetics and Evolution is the only journal that welcomes articles dealing with the genetics and evolutionary biology of hosts, pathogens and vectors, and coevolution processes among them in relation to infection and disease manifestation. All infectious models enter the scope of the journal, including pathogens of humans, animals and plants, either parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses or prions. The journal welcomes articles dealing with genetics, population genetics, genomics, postgenomics, gene expression, evolutionary biology, population dynamics, mathematical modeling and bioinformatics. We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
