Clinical application of a dot blot test to detect immunoglobulin G (IgG) (88% sensitivity and specificity) and IgM (12.1% sensitivity and 97% specificity) against flagellar antigen from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi was performed in Peruvian and Colombian patients with typhoid fever. This test can be used as a good predictor of serovar Typhi infection in regions lacking laboratory facilitie...

Salmonella enterica has been one of the most widespread foodborne pathogens in Korea. Between 1998 and 2007, a total of 9,472 Salmonella isolates were identified from foodborne and waterborne illness patients. During that time, Korea was transitioning into a developed country in industry as well as in its hygiene system. Although the isolation number of total Salmonella including serovar Typhi ...

We report here the complete genome sequence of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi B/SF/13/03/195 obtained from a typhoid carrier, who is a food handler in Pasir Mas, Kelantan.

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 ...

Enteric fever, caused by Salmonella enterica, remains an unresolved public health problem in India and antimicrobial therapy is the main mode of treatment. The objective of this study was to characterize the Salmonella enterica isolates from Kolkata with respect to their antimicrobial resistance (AMR), virulence profiles and molecular subtypes. Salmonella enterica blood isolates were collected ...

We report a case of typhoid fever in a traveler returning to Spain from Guatemala that was caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi which produced an extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL). This finding demonstrates the presence of ESBL-producing S. enterica ser. Typhi strains in the Americas. Enhanced surveillance is necessary to prevent further spread.

The development of effective vaccines for neonates and very young infants has been impaired by their weak, short-lived, and Th-2 biased responses and by maternal antibodies that interfere with vaccine take. We investigated the ability of Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Typhimurium to mucosally deliver tetanus toxin fragment C (Frag C) as a model antigen in neonatal mice. We hypothesize t...

Blood culture isolates of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi showing high degrees of resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, cotrimoxazole and tetracycline (ACCoT-resistance) transferred their full resistance phenotype to antibiotic-sensitive S. enterica serovar Typhi strains through the primary recipient Escherichia coli C600. Transfer frequencies were 0.80 x 10(-5) and 0.80 x 10(-6), respec...

Typhoid fever caused by Salmonella enterica serovar typhi (S. enterica serovar typhi) is one of the important public health problems in many developing countries. Conventional blood culture is currently the gold standard for diagnosis of typhoid fever by this bacterium, but it is time-consuming requiring several days for isolation of bacterium resulting in delay to initiate proper antibiotic th...
