Abstract:
Background: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is the causative agent of typhoid fever, a major public health concern in Nigeria and other low-resource settings. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), often plasmid-mediated, poses a serious challenge to treatment. Local surveillance data on resistance and plasmid carriage are critical for guiding effective interventions. This study investigated the antimicrobial susceptibility and plasmid profiles of clinical Salmonella Typhi isolates from stool samples in Sagamu, southwest Nigeria.
