Abstract

Typhoid fever is an infectious disease that affects millions of people around the world. It is most often encountered in developing countries where hygiene conditions are poor. Mortality is estimated between 1 and 4% in children over 5 years old and in adults. The sources of contamination are varied with several phases contributing to the penetration of the responsible germ into the human body. For adequate management of the infection, the medical biology laboratory remains essential for the isolation and identification of the germ responsible for the disease through increasingly specific examinations. This work aims to make a bibliographical synthesis on the responsible germ, its physiopathology as well as the different laboratory techniques for isolating the bacterium of the genus Salmonella. To do this, a literature review was carried out in scientific databases with keywords for this purpose.
