Abstract
SHV-12, were detected in cases with travel to Pakistan and India, respectively. Linking epidemiological data with genomic studies of S. Typhi provides an opportunity to improve understanding of the emergence, spread and risk of drug-resistant S. Typhi infections and to better inform empirical treatment guidelines in returned travelers.
