Abstract
Little genomic data is available for typhoid fever from island nations, though the disease has a moderately high burden there. Sikorski et al. (M. J. Sikorski, T. H. Hazen, S. N. Desai, S. Nimarota-Brown, et al., mBio 13:e01920-22, 2022,

) studied 306
Salmonella enterica
serovar Typhi genomes from the Samoan Islands collected during 1983 to 2020 and reported dominance of a rare genotype, 3.5.4, and no H58 (genotype 4.3.1).
