Overview

Salmonella Typhi is a human-restricted bacterial pathogen that causes typhoid fever, a serious systemic illness transmitted mainly through food and water contaminated with the feces of infected people. After ingestion, the bacterium invades the intestinal lining and spreads through the bloodstream, producing prolonged fever, abdominal pain, malaise, and, if untreated, complications such as intestinal perforation and death. Typhoid fever remains a major public-health problem in many low- and middle-income regions where access to clean water, sanitation, and prompt treatment is limited, and its control is increasingly complicated by antimicrobial resistance. Some individuals become chronic carriers, harboring the organism, often in the gallbladder, and shedding it long after recovery. Research relevant to this field includes work on fecal shedding, antimicrobial resistance, and in vitro biofilm formation on simulated gallstones by Salmonella Typhi from typhoid cases and asymptomatic carriers in Nairobi, studies of the genotypic diversity of isolates from children in informal settlements, the prevalence of typhoid and paratyphoid fever in hospital-based surveys, and mathematical modeling of typhoid transmission dynamics. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access material relevant to the biology, epidemiology, resistance, and control of Salmonella Typhi and typhoid fever.
