ddx R. #typhi is spread when flea feces are rubbed into skin wounds. This is a mild illness, is seen most often in refugee camps and areas of poverty, but is seen domestically, mostly in California, Texas, Hawaii in USA so this pt doesnt fit geographically
Special congratulations for Allan Zuza here for his first first-author 🎉 and Alexander Wailan for being the first to spot that something was looking funny with a few isolates!!! Many thanks as always to Nick Feasey who led the #Typhi work in #Malawi this dives into.
And if you actually took Xmas off (well done!!!), #Typhi #AMR #plasmids #genomics and a reminder that there is so much more under the hood in large-scale genome data beyond the first large-scale analysis, it pays off to keep digging 💻🧬🧪🦠
