“…Three of the strains with plasmid-mediated resistance, all isolated from patients infected in India, carried Inc H1 plasmids. This is not unexpected, since S. typhi with H1 plasmids have been reported as endemic in India (Sharma et al 1979). However, two other plasmid compatibility groups were identified in the remaining three strains with plasmid-mediated resistance -F1me (2 strains), and FII (1 strain).…”

“…The sensitivity is similar to that of the Widal test and the procedure may be quicker if tests are batched (about one hour for a gel), but bands are often difficult to see, the cost is higher than that of the Widal, and some studies conclude that CIE has a low sensitivity with Vi antigen. A panel of antigens (somatic (O), flagellar (H) and capsular polysaccharide (Vi) antigens of S. typhi is recommended for rapid diagnosis of typhoid fever 46 .…”

The diagnosis of typhoid fever on clinical presentations alone is difficult, as the presenting symptoms are diverse and similar to those observed with other febrile illnesses, especially during the first weeks of the infection. Therefore, laboratory-based investigations are essential for supporting the diagnosis of the disease. The "gold standard" for diagnosis of typhoid fever is the isolation of Salmonella typhi from appropriate samples including blood, bone marrow aspirates, stool, urine and rose spots. This facility is not available in many areas where the disease is endemic. Serodiagnosis depends upon the 100-year-old Widal test, and other serological diagnostic tools have limitations because of their low sensitivity and/or specificity. The development of molecular methods for diagnosis of infectious diseases, including typhoid fever has improved the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis. One of the molecular methods, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most sensitive and rapid method to detect microbial pathogens in clinical specimens. Antigen detection has not been investigated for well over three decades and detecting an immune response specific for typhoid fever has been done only with antibody detection. There is an urgent need for the rational design and evaluation of effective and appropriate diagnostics for typhoid fever which must include the emerging threat of S. typhi. However, monitoring of antibiotic susceptibility patterns will ensure that signs of developing resistance are detected early and that the appropriate action is taken. Therefore, this present review has been designed to describe the different diagnostic procedure of typhoid fever. [Bangladesh Journal of Infectious Diseases 2016;3(2):43-51]

“…Besides being the most common serotype of gastroenteric salmonellae causing human infection, S. typhimurium also shows the highest percentage of multiplyresistant strains including resistance to chloramphenicol and ampicillin (Anderson, 1968;Neu et al 1975;Sharma et al 1979;Koshi, 1981;Bhatia, Vaze & Agarwal, 1981). Plasmid studies have thus been concentrated on this organism, although other serotypes such as S. wien, S. newport and S. oranienburg causing outbreaks have also been examined (McConnell et al 1979;Threlfall, Bhat & Sharma, 1982;Rangnekar, Banker & Jhala, 1982a, b).…”

SUMMARYPlasmids present in multiply-resistant salmonella strains including Salmonella typhimurium, S. johannesburg, S. wandsworth, S. derby, S. newport, S. london and S. choleraesuis causing diarrhoea in patients in Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong from 1973-82 were studied. In multiply-resistant S. typhimurium, plasmids belonging to groups F1me, H, or H2 and plasmids encoding trimethoprim-resistance which were compatible with standard plasmids of testable incompatibility groups were detected. In S. johannesburg, both the ASTCKSu-and ASCKSuresistant strains which were predominant in two consecutive periods of an outbreak were found to harbour the same plasmid which belonged to the incompatibility group F,me. S. wandsworth strains isolated from a hospital outbreak in 1980 harboured an identical R-plasmid belonging to group N. A few strains of the other salmonellae showing resistance to multiple antibiotics were found to harbour R-plasmids belonging to groups H1, H2 and F1me. The only salmonella of the enteric fever group resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol and trimethoprim was an S. paratyphi B strain. The resistances were encoded on a plasmid of an unknown incompatibility group. The occurrence and distribution of plasmids in these salmonellae isolated within the 10-year period are discussed.
