Disseminated multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin infection associated with plasmid-borne CMY-2 gene in a patient with travel to a farm in Mexico
摘要
Disseminated Salmonella enterica infections represent a severe form of non-typhoidal salmonellosis increasingly complicated by antimicrobial resistance. We describe a case of disseminated non-typhoidal Salmonella in a man presenting with septic shock concerning for a thoracoabdominal endovascular graft infection with involvement of the urinary and respiratory tracts and thoracic skeleton. Hybrid whole-genome sequencing identified Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin and two significant plasmids, an IncC multidrug resistance plasmid harboring blaCMY−2, blaTEM−206, tet(A), and sul2 and an IncFII(S)/IncX1 virulence plasmid containing a spvA-D/spvR operon associated with systemic infection. This case highlights a potential food-borne or zoonotic acquisition of invasive, plasmid-mediated AmpC-producing Salmonella Dublin.
