Typhoid fever, a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi whose treatment is use of antibiotics. And the these antibiotics associated with drug resistance, high cost medication and less accessibility to rural populations remains an issue concern. The aim this research was indentify bioactive metabolites leaf T. occidentalis determine anti-salmonella activity. antibacterial activity extrac...

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (hereafter referred to as S. typhi) is a host-restricted pathogen that adheres to and invades the distal ileum and subsequently disseminates to cause typhoid fever in humans. However, S. typhi appears to be avirulent in small animals. In contrast, other pathogenic salmonellae, such as S. enterica serovars Typhimurium and Dublin (S. typhimurium and S. dublin, re...

Methods The PCR-based detection technique for five Salmonella species was tested under O.I.E. requirements, to determine specificity, sensitivity, and repeatability. Primers were calculated by OLIGO software and produced with HPLC purification. Amplification was conducted by a T3000 Biometra PCR-machine. Testing was performed on a panel of five basic agents: Salmonella enterica ser. Enteritidis...

Tests conducted on 45 carriers of Salmonella typhi or S. paratyphi who had undergone gallbladder removal showed that 10 remained residual car&s six months or more aftm surgep The findings suggest that S . typhi tenh to persist in both the gallbladder and the bile ducts of carriers, that surgical removal of the gallbladder does not ensure elimination of the S. typhi-paratyphi carrier state, and ...

Multi-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis differentiated 297 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi blood culture isolates from Makassar in 76 genotypes and a single unique S. Typhi genotype was isolated from the cholecystectomy specimens of four patients with cholelithiasis. The high diversity in S. Typhi genotypes circulating in Makassar indicates that the number of carriers could be very...

The indirect fluorescent antibody test using a whole Salmonella typhi Vi suspension as the antigen has been evaluated for the diagnosis of typhoid fever. Results using sera from 140 patients with S typhi infections proved on culture show the test to have good sensitivity. The test appears to be highly specific, although it has not yet been investigated with respect to typhoid vaccination or in ...

A DNA probe was used to detect Salmonella typhi from blood samples from 14 of 33 patients with culture-confirmed typhoid fever, using the equivalent of 2.5 ml of blood. In contrast, S. typhi was detected in 17 of the same 33 patients by culture of 8 ml of blood. The probe hybridized to blood samples of 4 of 47 patients from whom S. typhi was not isolated.

Splenic abscess is an infrequent complication of enteric fever caused by Salmonella typhi. The incidence rate ranges from 0.14-2%. Clinical manifestations are often nonspecific and may be presented as with left upper quadrant abdominal pain a palpable tender mass. Diagnosis difficult splenic management based on surgical interventions antibiotic therapy. In this case report we would like to high...

BACKGROUND Enteric fever continues to be a major public health problem, especially in the developing countries of the tropics. We determined the incidence of Salmonella bloodstream infections and their antimicrobial resistance patterns from May to August in the years 1997-2001 in Haryana, a large state of India. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was also determined for 60 isolates of S...
