Age distribution of domestic cases of Salmonella Typhimurium with (n = 86) and without (n = 1,281) MLVA profiles consistent with passerines as the ultimate source of infection, Sweden, 2009–2016
MLVA: multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis; STm: Salmonella Typhimurium.
‘Passerine-associated’ STm refers to variants with the MLVA pattern 2-[11-15]-[3-4]-NA-212, which can indicate passerines as a probable source.
