ABSTRACT Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) gastroenteritis in children remains a significant burden on health care and constitutes a majority of all admissions for Salmonella infections in public hospitals in Hong Kong. In this prospective study, 41% of 241 children hospitalized with gastroenteritis from three public hospitals during 2019 were culture confirmed to have NTS infection. These Salmonella isolates were whole-genome sequenced and in silico predicted for their serovars/serotypes using the Salmonella In Silico Typing Resource (SISTR) and SeqSero1, and the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes were determined. Phylogenetic analysis revealed three major clades belonging to Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis sequence type 11 (ST11) (43%), multidrug-resistant (MDR) S. Typhimurium ST19 (12%) and its monophasic variant ST34 (25%), and mostly singletons of 15 other serovars. MDR S. Typhimurium and its variant were more common in infants |
