Abstract

Salmonella enterica serovar Panama, a causative agent of non-typhoidal salmonellosis (NTS), is one of several serovars that causes invasive NTS disease (iNTS) in humans. S. Panama is an understudied pathogen, with its pathobiology poorly understood. It is a predominant iNTS serovar in Australia, a high-income country with high rates of salmonellosis, where S. Panama has been documented to have a high odds ratio (13.9–15.26) for causing iNTS. This study investigates the genomic epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance profiles of all S. Panama isolates recovered in Victoria, Australia, between 2000 and 2021. We examined the infection dynamics of S. Panama in seven isolates, representing the ..
