With rising fluoroquinolone and ceftriaxone-resistant Salmonella Typhi, azithromycin, a macrolide, has become the last oral drug available against typhoid. Between 2009-2016, we isolated 1,082 Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi A strains in Bangladesh, 13 (12 Typhi and 1 Paratyphi A) of which were azithromycin-resistant. When compared to 462 previously sequenced Typhi strains, the genomes of the 12 azithromycin-resistant Typhi strains (4.3.1 sub-clade, H58) harbored an exclusive non-synonymous single-point mutation R717Q in AcrB, an RND-efflux pump. Expression of AcrB-R717Q in E. coli and Typhi strains increased its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for azithromycin by 11- and 3-fold respectively. The azithromycin-resistant Paratyphi A strain also contained a mutation at R717 (R717L), whose introduction in E. coli and Paratyphi A strains increased MIC by 7- and 3-fold respectively, confirming the role of R717 mutations in conferring azithromycin resistance. With increasing azithromycin use, strains with R717 mutations may spread leading to treatment failures, making antibiotic stewardship and vaccine introduction imperative.

The development of a nanoparticulate system for the carrier antigen is now an important tool in the vaccination process, since a smaller number of doses is necessary for effective immunization. Thus, in this work a nanoparticulate system using polymers of chitosan and poly (methacrylic acid) (CS–PMAA) to adsorb the Vi antigen of Salmonella Typhi was developed. CS–PMAA nanoparticles with different proportions of chitosan and poly (methacrylic acid) were obtained and reached sizes from 123.9 ± 2.48 to 234.9 ± 2.66 nm, and spherical shapes were seen in transmission microscopy. At pH 7.2, the nanoparticles had a cationic surface charge that contributed to the adsorption of the Vi antigen. Qualitative analyses of the isolated Vi antigen were performed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, which indicated the presence of all the characteristic bands of the capsular polysaccharide, and nuclear magnetic resonance, which showed signals for the five hydrogens and the N-acetyl and O-acetyl groups which are characteristic of the Vi antigen structure. In the adsorption kinetics study, the Vi capsular antigen, contained in a phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.2, experienced 55% adsorption on the 1–1% (CS–PMAA) nanoparticles. The adsorption kinetics results showed the ability of the nanoparticulate system to adsorb the Vi antigen.
