The circulation of bacteria associated with ADD and BFI was evaluated in Wayuu indigenous communities of northern Colombia. Four health brigades were conducted in 14 Wayuu communities, with 86 ADD samples, 210 BFI blood samples, and 237 BFI serum samples for BFI collected according to clinical symptoms. The samples were analyzed using conventional bacteriology, real-time polymerase chain reaction tests, serological tests, and whole-genome sequencing for the recovered isolates. In ADD, a bacterial agent was isolated in 17.4% of the fecal samples.\n                    <jats:italic>Salmonella enterica w<\/jats:italic>\n                    as the predominant enteropathogen (12.8%), with four identified serovars.

Genomic analyses did not reveal determinants of highly invasive or multidrug-resistant strains, although plasmids with horizontal transfer potential were detected. In BFI, the seroprevalence was 3.4% for\n                    <jats:italic>Brucella<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp., 6.8% for\n                    <jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp., and 14.2% for\n                    <jats:italic>Rickettsia rickettsii<\/jats:italic>\n                    , revealing exposure to bacterial zoonoses. The Wayuu community exhibits circulation of bacteria associated with both ADD and BFI, including underdiagnosed zoonotic pathogens. These findings highlight the need to strengthen integrated surveillance and One Health approach strategies, involving the active participation of vulnerable indigenous populations.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.26-0272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,27]],"date-time":"2026-08-27T16:50:50Z","timestamp":1787849450000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Approach to the Landscape of Bacterial Diseases in Wayuu Communities, Colombia: Acute Diarrheal Disease and Febrile Bacterial Syndromes"],"prefix":"10.4269","author":[{"given":"Paula Luc\u00eda","family":"D\u00edaz-Guevara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbiolog\u00eda, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zonia","family":"Alarc\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbiolog\u00eda, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nancy Yaneth","family":"Fl\u00f3rez-Delgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbiolog\u00eda, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucy Angeline","family":"Monta\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbiolog\u00eda, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbiolog\u00eda, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vanessa","family":"Melo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbiolog\u00eda, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diego","family":"Prada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbiolog\u00eda, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Velandia-Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbiolog\u00eda, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gloria Mercedes","family":"Puerto-Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbacterias, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Escand\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbiolog\u00eda, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaime","family":"Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Microbiolog\u00eda, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"b1","series-title":"Microorganisms","first-page":"2154","article-title":"Etiologies of zoonotic tropical febrile illnesses that are not part of the notifiable diseases in Colombia","volume":"11","author":"Silva-Ramos","year":"2023"},{"issue":"1","key":"b2","series-title":"Cuad Geogr Rev Colomb Geogr","first-page":"50","article-title":"La representaci\u00f3n socioespacial del territorio.
