Extensive drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Senftenberg carrying blaNDM encoding plasmid p5558 (IncA/C) from India
2019
ABSTRACTNon-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) are foodborne pathogens that are responsible for self-limiting gastroenteritis in humans. The present study aims at the molecular characterisation and comparative genomics of Salmonella enterica serovar Senftenberg strain P5558 isolated from the pus samples of a patient suffering from stump infection. The isolate was subjected to serotyping and antimicrobial susceptibility test to understand the phenotypical characteristics. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was carried out and comparative genomics using computational tools showed the antimicrobial resistance and virulence gene profile of the isolates from the genome sequence data. Typing experiments confirmed that the isolate belong to S. Senftenberg with sequence type ST14. Resistance against β-lactams is associated with the presence of blaTEM-1, blaOXA-9, blaCMY-2 and blaNDM-1 genes. Similarly resistance to aminoglycoside was associated with five aminoglycoside modifying enzymes aac(6ʹ)-Ia, aac(6ʹ)-Ib, aph(3ʹ)-Ib, aph...
