Asymptomatic fecal shedding of NTS is hypothesized to contribute to the human-to-human transmission of NTS especially in low-resource settings. However, the role of pathogen shedding in invasive disease is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and duration of fecal shedding of NTS among children under 5 years convalescing from invasive NTS disease and among healthy individuals in the community. Children presenting with fever of \u226538\u00b0C with or without diarrhea were recruited at four health facilities in Nairobi, between June 2021 and August 2023. Blood and stool samples collected were subjected to culture for the isolation of NTS (\n              <jats:italic>S<\/jats:italic>\n              . Enteritidis and\n              <jats:italic>S<\/jats:italic>\n              . Typhimurium). Children with NTS culture-positive samples (index cases) were followed up post-acute disease where household contacts and controls provided stool samples for isolation of NTS. NTS prevalence among the 3,293 individuals recruited was 1.52%. Asymptomatic shedding post-treatment was observed in almost one-third (31%) of the 42 index cases followed up. Of the 13 with intestinal shedding, 7 were shedding NTS of the same sequence type (ST) as the one recovered during acute disease. The longest duration of intestinal shedding was 3 months post-treatment. Of the 241 healthy individuals recruited, 8 had asymptomatic shedding of NTS, and 2 of these were closely related to those recovered from index cases. These findings support the hypothesis of human-to-human transmission of NTS in sub-Saharan Africa highlighting the possible benefit of vaccine introduction.\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              Asymptomatic fecal shedding of nontyphoidal\n              <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n              (NTS) is hypothesized to contribute to the human-to-human transmission of NTS especially in low-resource settings which could lead to invasive disease among high-risk populations, especially children.
