Salmonella carriage by geckos detected within households in Malawi

<i>Salmonella</i> was isolated from 23/79 (29.1%) pooled gecko stool samples from households in southern Malawi. Whole genome sequencing of 47 individual isolates within this collection revealed 27 <i>Salmonella</i> serovars spanning two subspecies. Our results demonstrate that geckos play an import...

Summary:<i>Salmonella</i> was isolated from 23/79 (29.1%) pooled gecko stool samples from households in southern Malawi. Whole genome sequencing of 47 individual isolates within this collection revealed 27 <i>Salmonella</i> serovars spanning two subspecies. Our results demonstrate that geckos play an important role in the carriage of <i>Salmonella</i> within households.
