چکیده
Enteric fever, includes typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi and paratyphoid fever caused by S. enterica serovar Paratyphi A and is one of the most important febrile illnesses in tropical and subtropical countries, with high rates of morbidity and mortality. S. paratyphi A can be isolated from the blood and feces from paratyphoid fever patients (1, 2). In India, however Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi remains predominating in causing enteric fever, isolation of Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi A causing the same disease, has also been reported increasingly in various parts of North and South India including regions like New Delhi, Chandigarh, Shimla, Kolkatta, Rourkela, Orissa, Calicut and Manipal (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,14).

Background & Objective: Molecular typing is an important tool in surveillance and outbreak investigations of human Salmonella infections. In this study, Subtyping of Salmonella Paratyphi B and C isolates derived from Iranian patients was carried out by RAPD-PCR to assess the extent of genetic diversity of these isolates. Materials & Methods: Fourteen Salmonella isolates including 6 strains of S...

BACKGROUND Enteric fever remains an important cause of morbidity in many low-income countries and Salmonella Paratyphi A has emerged as the aetiological agent in an increasing proportion of cases. Lack of adequate diagnostics hinders early diagnosis and prompt treatment of both typhoid and paratyphoid but development of assays to identify paratyphoid has been particularly neglected. Here we des...

Introduction. Enteric fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (typhoid fever) or S. enterica serotype Paratyphi A, B or C (paratyphoid fever), is a major health problem in developing countries. Vertical transmission of Salmonella can cause miscarriage, still birth, preterm labour and neonatal sepsis. In the literature, many cases of vertical transmission of S. enterica Typhi from mo...
متن کاملGrowth of typhoid and paratyphoid bacilli in intravenously infected mice.
The in vivo growth of Salmonella paratyphi A, S. paratyphi B, S. paratyphi C, and S. typhi, as well as of an S. typhi-typhimurium hybrid, was studied in three different strains of mice. S. paratyphi A and B and S. typhi demonstrated very little growth potential in any of the intravenously infected mice, even after as many as 20 serial mouse passages. It was noted, however, that small numbers of...

Paratyphoid fever has been emerged as a global public health problem, especially in developing countries. There should be a consistent monitoring of the isolation throughout the countries to analyze the spectrum of the Salmonella enteric serovar Paratyphi. This study examined current isolation pattern of Salmonella Paratyphi A, B and C over a period of 6 years at National Salmonella and Escheri...
