Genetic Characteristics: Serovar Kedougou has been found to be polyphyletic with one lineage identified and one stand-alone singleton that does not cluster with any other Salmonella Kedougou isolates. Among human-originated Salmonella Kedougou isolates collected in Thailand, Pornruangwong et al. found that 84% showed resistance to three or more antimicrobial classes. In addition, three human stool samples contained strains resistant to third-generation cephalosporins—two carrying bla(CTX-M-63) and one with bla(CMY-2). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) identified 45 distinct genetic clusters. Interestingly, human isolates from Thailand and the US shared identical PFGE patterns, indicating possible travel-related transmission. In contrast, most animal isolates from the UK formed separate clusters.
