Multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium phage type DT104 has become a widespread cause of human and ether animal infection worldwide. The severity of clinical illness in S, enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 outbreaks has led to the suggestion that this strain possesses enhanced virulence, In the present study, in vitro and in vivo virulence-associated phenotypes of several clinical isolates of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 were examined and compared to S. enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 14028s. The ability of these DT104 isolates to survive within murine peritoneal macrophages, invade cultured epithelial cells, resist antimicrobial actions of reactive oxygen and nitrogen compounds, and cause lethal infection in mice were assessed. Our results failed to demonstrate that S. enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 isolates are more virulent than S, enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 14028s.
