Background:

Salmonella Panama poses a significant public health challenge.
Accurate and robust genotyping methods are crucial for tracking outbreaks and understanding transmission dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel molecular genotyping scheme for Salmonella Panama.
To assess the typeability and discriminatory power of different molecular techniques.

Main Methods:

Generation of specific probes for the 16S rRNA gene and IS200 insertion element via PCR.
Genomic Southern blotting using selected restriction enzymes.
Plasmid profiling analysis.

Main Results:

IS200 profiling demonstrated the highest discriminatory power (D=0.8) and 100% typeability.
Ribotyping with the 16S rRNA gene probe was more discriminatory than phage typing and offered complete typeability.
A combined scheme using IS200 profiling and plasmid profiling achieved a high discriminatory power (D=0.97).

Conclusions:

The developed molecular genotyping scheme, particularly combining IS200 profiling and plasmid profiling, is highly discriminatory and robust.
This scheme is well-suited for epidemiological investigations of Salmonella Panama.
The new method surpasses traditional techniques in typeability and discriminatory power.
