PRO/AH/EDR> Salmonellosis, st Typhimurium - Africa: ST313, virulence

Salmonella -- Worldwide/Unknown
_Salmonella enterica_ serovar Typhimurium ST313 is a relatively newly emerged sequence type that is causing a devastating epidemic of bloodstream infections across sub-Saharan Africa. Analysis of hundreds of salmonella genomes has revealed that ST313 is closely related to the ST19 group of _S._ Typhimurium that cause gastroenteritis across the world. The core genomes of ST313 and ST19 vary by only ∼1000 SNPs. We hypothesized that the phenotypic differences that distinguish African salmonella
