Background: Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Mississippi (antigenic formula 1,13,23:b:1,5) is a serovar of the O:13 (G) serogroup. This serovar was initially identified in 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. In Australia, exposure to contaminated drinking water and wildlife contact have been documented as transmission routes for serovar Mississippi infections, while in US, the infections are primarily linked to animal contact. Chui et al. reported a case of left renal abscess and gram-negative sepsis associated with Salmonella Mississippi infection.
