Carbapenem-Resistant <i>Salmonella</i> Typhi Infection in Traveler Returning to Germany from India, 2024
We report on a carbapenem-, extended spectrum β-lactam-, fluoroquinolone-, and tetracycline-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi strain in a patient returning to Germany from India. Considering the recent emergence of extensively drug-resistant Salmonella Typhi strains, further expansion of antibiotic resistance to carbapenems poses a serious threat for typhoid fever treatment.
