<i>Salmonella enterica</i> Serovar Panama, an Understudied Serovar Responsible for Extraintestinal Salmonellosis Worldwide.

Abstract
In recent years nontyphoidal <i>Salmonella</i> has emerged as one of the pathogens most frequently isolated from the bloodstream in humans. Only a small group of <i>Salmonella</i> serovars cause this systemic infection, known as invasive nontyphoidal salmonellosis. Here, we present a focused minireview on <i>Salmonella enterica</i> serovar Panama, a serovar responsible for invasive salmonellosis worldwide. <i>S</i> Panama has been linked with infection of extraintestinal sites in humans, causing septicemia, meningitis, and osteomyelitis. The clinical picture is often complicated by antimicrobial resistance and has been associated with a large repertoire of transmission vehicles, including human feces and breast milk. Nonhuman sources of <i>S</i> Panama involve reptiles and environmental reservoirs, as well as food animals, such as pigs. The tendency of <i>S</i> Panama to cause invasive disease may be linked to certain serovar-specific genetic factors.
