Comparison of global transcriptomes for nontyphoidal Salmonellaclinical isolates from pediatric patients with and without bacteremia after their interaction with human intestinal epithelial cells in vitro

Nontyphoidal Salmonella(NTS) outbreaks of invasive diseases are increasing. Whether the genetic diversity of invasive NTS correlates with the clinical characteristics and bacteremia development in NTS infections remains unclear. In this study, we compared the global transcriptomes between bacteremic and nonbacteremic NTS strains after their interaction with human intestinal epithelial cells in vitro.
