Highlights
Salmonella spp. is an important zoonotic pathogen that is majorly implicated in food borne related illnesses and typhoid fever.[1]
Isolation and colony characterization The result shows that out of 300 faecal samples collected from laboratories in South East Nigeria, 129 (43 %) yielded Salmonella species because of the blackish colonies clearly seen
The isolation of Salmonella strains from faecal samples indicates that the Salmonella spp are prevalent and endemic in South East Nigeria.[34]
Summary
Salmonella spp. is an important zoonotic pathogen that is majorly implicated in food borne related illnesses and typhoid fever.[1] Typhoid fever is a life-threatening infection caused by typhoidal Salmonella serovars. It is rated the 8th commonest infection globally.[2,3,4] Globally, WHO (2018) estimates that 11-20 million people develop typhoid fever annually and about 128,000-161,000 people die because of the disease.[5] Despite available antibiotic therapy for typhoid fever, mortality rate because of the fever remains high.[6,7] the mortality rate due to typhoid fever varies from region to region. The fever is more endemic in African and Asian countries than in Western Europe and North America.[2, 9] For instance, out of the 2.9 per 100,000 mortality rate as a result of typhoid fever in Western Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria alone has 2.6 per 100,000 people
