Background: Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Mississippi. This serovar was initially identified in 1943 after being isolated from a food handler's stool sample in Mississippi, US. In the US, serovar Mississippi ranked as the 14th most prevalent serovar in human clinical cases in 2016, whereas in Tasmania, it is the second most common, responsible for 37% of all nontyphoidal salmonellosis cases in the state.
