Salmonella enterica including Salmonella Typhi and nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) are the predominant cause of community-acquired bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa (sSA). Multiple-drug resistance and emerging fluoroquinolone resistance are of concern. Data on the age distribution of typhoid fever in sSA are scarce but essential for typhoid conjugate vaccine policy. We sought to describe Salmonella bloodstream infections, antimicrobial resistance, and age distribution at a rural district hospital in northeastern Tanzania.
