Table 3.

Overview of genomic resistance of typhoidal Salmonella

Table describing the number of isolates (one representative per case) with genomic AMR for S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A, B and C. Per cent values in bold show an increase of resistance from 2016 and 2019 or since the last reported study [9].

*Mean per cent of genomic resistance determinants from isolates of enteric fever reported between April 2014 and August 2016 [9].

#Genetic Fluoroquinolone resistance varies between pathogens, for S. Typhi, resistance was classified as the presence of one marker/mutation, For S. Paratyphi A, B and C, resistance was classified as the presence of two or more genetic markers/mutations as the presence of a single marker such as the parC_ [57:T-S] mutation does not confer resistance.
