Heterogeneous Salmonella typhi transmission within a household: genomic insights from a chronic carrier Open
Introduction. Household outbreaks of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi ( S. Typhi) typically involve genetically similar strains, often within a 0–5 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) single linkage cluster. However, unusual genetic hete…

The genomic epidemiology of shigellosis in South Africa Open
Shigellosis, a leading cause of diarrhoeal mortality and morbidity globally, predominantly affects children under five years of age living in low- and middle-income countries. While whole genome sequence analysis (WGSA) has been effectivel…

A tale of two plasmids: contributions of plasmid associated phenotypes to epidemiological success among <i>Shigella</i> Open
Dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mediated through plasmids is a major global concern. Genomic epidemiology studies have shown varying success of different AMR plasmids during outbreaks…

Whole genome sequence analysis of Shigella from Malawi identifies fluoroquinolone resistance Open
Increasing antimicrobial resistance and limited alternative treatments have led to fluoroquinolone-resistant Shigella strain inclusion on the WHO global priority pathogens list. In this study we characterized multiple Shigella isolates fro…

Accessory Genome Dynamics and Structural Variation of <i>Shigella</i> from Persistent Infections Open
Shigella spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that are the etiological agent of shigellosis, the second most common cause of diarrheal illness among children under the age of five in low-income countries. In high-income countries, shigellosis i…
