Genomic_basis_of_resistance_and_virulence_in_Salmonella_Concord

Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) are an important cause of gastroenteritis worldwide. In Africa, however, NTS serotypes Typhimurium and Enteritidis are responsible for a large number of bloodstream infections. As opposed to this general trend, a high number of bloodstream infections in Ethiopia is caused by Salmonella serotype Concord. In this study, we will use a whole genome sequencing approach to reconstruct the phylogeny of Salmonella Concord and gain insight in the antibiotic resistance and virulence of this pathogen.
