TL;DR: A quantitative molecular diagnostic approach improved population-level and case-level characterisation of the causes of diarrhoea and indicated a high burden of disease associated with six pathogens, for which targeted treatment should be prioritised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of an Extensively Drug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi Clone Harboring a Promiscuous Plasmid Encoding Resistance to Fluoroquinolones and Third-Generation Cephalosporins.

TL;DR: The first large-scale emergence and spread of a novel extensively drug-resistant S. Typhi clone in Sindh, Pakistan is reported, highlighting the evolving threat of antibiotic resistance in S. typhi and the value of antibiotic susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing in understanding emerging infectious diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review of the global epidemiology, clinical and laboratory profile of enteric fever.
TL;DR: Despite higher complications in MDR enteric fever, case fatality rate is comparable to sensitive cases, with an overall hospital based CFR of 2%, which is similar to recent global estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outbreak investigation of ceftriaxone-resistant Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi and its risk factors among the general population in Hyderabad, Pakistan: a matched case-control study.

TL;DR: Several factors were significantly associated with acquisition of ceftriaxone-resistant S Typhi, including male sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1·53, 95% CI 1·06-2·21), eating outside of the house (aOR 1·48, 1·01- 2·19), exposure to a patient with S TyphI infection ( aOR 3·81, 2·21-6·83), and a history of antimicrobial use (a OR
