Pathogen diversity and antimicrobial resistance transmission of Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Paratyphi A in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Malawi: a genomic epidemiological study... by Dyson, ZA, Ashton, PM, Khanam, F, Chunga Chirambo, A, Shakya, M, Meiring, JE, Tonks, S, Karkey, A, Msefula, C, Clemens, JD, Dunstan, SJ, Baker, S, Dougan, G, Pitzer, VE, Basnyat, B, Qadri, F, Heyderman, RS, Gordon, MA, Holt, KE, Pollard, AJ, STRATAA Study Group

“…Azithromycin-resistance mutations in acrB were rare, appearing only in Dhaka (five [1%] of 452). Phylogenetic analyses showed that most cases derived from pre-existing, locally established pathogen variants; 702 (98%) of 713 drug-resistant infections resulted from local circulation of AMR variants, not imported variants or recent de novo emergence; and pathogen variants circulated across age groups. 479 (66%) of 731 cases clustered with others that were indistinguishable by point mutations; individual clusters included multiple age groups and persisted for up to 2·3 years, and AMR determinants were invariant within clusters.…”
