Virulence of invasive Salmonella Typhimurium ST313 in animal models of infection

Abstract excerpt

Salmonella Typhimurium sequence type (ST) 313 produces septicemia in infants in sub-Saharan Africa.Although there are known genetic and phenotypic differences between ST313 strains and gastroenteritis-associated ST19 strains, conflicting data about the in vivo virulence of ST313 strains have been reported.To resolve these differences, we tested clinical Salmonella Typhimurium ST313 and ST19 strains in murine and...
