ABSTRACT
Salmonella Typhi is a rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria with pesitrichus flagella. They belong to the family Entero bacterioceae and inhabit the large bowel of man. They are found in most food poisoning and tracealole to faecal contaminations. They grow both aerobically and anaerobically and are the main cause of typhoid fever.
Microorganism in the blood sampled from patient of Park Lane Specialist Hospital, Enugu were tested for Salmonella typhi. To do this, Blood samples of 110 patients were collected taking coganizance of their differences in age and sex and using Bacteriological isolation and widal test method. These bloods were cultured and screened appropriately with standard media such as triple sugar iron agar, selenite F. Broth, Deoxychcolate Citrate agar etc.
The result of the two methods were to say the least identical with Nine (9) positive cases displaying active infections and twelve (12) indicating weak infection. While fifty (50) cases tested maintaining could enhance maintaining good sanitary condition, improvement in quality of portable water supply and applicable of proper sewage disposal, could enhance negative prevention of typhoid fever.
