Epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella enterica serotype Infantis in the United States: infections and emergence of a multidrug-resistant strain during 1979–2022

Key Points

A multidrug-resistant strain of Salmonella enterica serotype Infantis has emerged, posing significant health risks.
Infections linked to chicken consumption have increased due to the new strain's resistance, including decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin.
Genetic characteristics of this strain include a gyrA87 mutation and a megaplasmid containing multiple resistance genes.
Studies span from 1979 to 2022, highlighting the long-term rise in infections and antimicrobial resistance trends.

Abstract

Background Salmonella infections are a major cause of human illness in the United States. Salmonella enterica serotype Infantis has re-emerged as a leading serotype with the emergence of a multidrug-resistant S. Infantis strain, designated as REPJFX01 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). REPJFX01, which typically contains a megaplasmid of emerging Salmonella Infantis (pESI) harbouring multiple resistance genes and a chromosomal gyrA87 mutation conferring decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin, has caused human infections linked to chicken consumption.
