Key points
• There are more than 2000 different antigenic types of Salmonella; those pathogenic to man are serotypes of S. enterica.
• Most serotypes of S. enterica cause food-borne gastroenteritis and have animal reservoirs.
• S. enterica serotypes Typhi and Paratyphi cause typhoid fever.

Typhoid Mary
• A famous example is “Typhoid” Mary Mallon, who was a food handler responsible for infecting at least 78 people, killing 5. These highly infectious carriers pose a great risk to public health.
![Page 9: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Typhoid Mary• "Typhoid Mary," real name Mary Mallon,
worked as a cook in New York City in the early 1900s. Public health pioneer Sara Josephine Baker, MD, PhD tracked her down after discovering that she was the common link among many people who had become ill from typhoid fever She was traced to typhoid outbreaks a second time so she was put in prison again where she lived until she died.

Resistance of Salmonella
• 55º c – 1 hour• 60º c – 15 MT• Boiling ,Chlorination,
Pasteurization Destroy the Bacilli.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 18

Antigenic structure of Salmonella• Two sets of antigens• Detection by serotyping• 1 Somatic or 0 Antigens contain long chain
polysaccharides ( LPS ) comprises of heat stable polysaccharide commonly.
• 2 Flagellar or H Antigens are strongly immunogenic and induces antibody formation rapidly and in high titers following infection or immunization. The flagellar antigen is of a dual nature, occurring in one of the two phases.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 19
![Page 20: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SalmonellaAntigenic Structure
• H – Flagellar antigens• O – Somatic antigen,• Vi – Surface antigen in some species only• H antigens also called flagellar antigens, heat
labile protein,• Boiling destroys antigenicity• When mixed with Antiserum produces agglutination
and fluffy clumps are produced• H antigens are strongly immunogenic Induces
antibodies rapidly,
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 20
![Page 21: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Antigens – Salmonella ( cont )
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 21
• O Antigens
• Forms integral part of Cell wall,• Like Endotoxin• 0 Antigens unaffected by boiling.• When mixed with antiserum produce chalky clumps
are formed, take more time reaction, at high temp 50º – 55º c
• O antigens are less immunogenic. than H antigens
![Page 22: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Antigen (Vi) – Salmonella ( contd )• Vi antigens • Many strains in S.typhi covers the O antigens-
prevents agglutination.• Resembles like K antigens • Destroyed after boiling at 60º c / 1 hour.• Vi a polysaccharide • Acts as virulence factor, protects the bacilli against
Phagocytosis and activity of Complement• Poorly immunogenic• Low titer of antibodies are produced, Not diagnostic

Pathology and Pathogenesis
• Bacilli enter through ingestion,• Bacilli attach to Microvilli,ileal mucosa,
penetrate to Lamina propria and sub mucosa • Phagocytosis by Polymorphs and
Macrophages• Enters the mesenteric lymph nodes • Enter the thoracic duct – Blood stream
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 33
![Page 34: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Infective Dose
• For human infections, the number of bacteria that must be swallowed in order to cause infection is uncertain and varies with the serotype. In most of these the median infective dose for most serotypes, including Typhi, has varied from 106 to 109 viable organisms. However, investigation of outbreaks suggests that in natural infection the infective dose might be fewer than 1000 viable organisms.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 34
![Page 35: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Pathology and Pathogenesis
• Bacteremia Spread to Liver, Gall bladder, Spleen, Bone marrow, Lymph nodes, Lungs, Multiply in kidneys
Once again spill into Blood streamCauses clinical illness.

Pathology and Pathogenesis
• Multiply abundantly in Gall bladder,• Bile rich source of Bacteria • Spill into Intestine, infects payers patches,
Lymph follicles • Inflammation – Undergo necrosis, Slough off• Typhoid ulcers• Typhoid ulcers can cause perforation and
hemorrhage • Duration of Illness 3 – 4 weeks• Incubation 7 -14, ( 3-56 days )
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 36
![Page 37: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What is Enteric Fever Typhoid Fever
• Enteric fever is caused by strains of S. Typhi or S. Paratyphi A, B or C; although S. Paratyphi B, which gene sequence analysis suggests is a variant of S. Java, is more likely to cause non-typhoidal diarrhoea. The clinical features tend to be more severe with S. Typhi (typhoid fever). After penetration of the ileal mucosa the organisms pass via the lymphatic's to the mesenteric lymph nodes, whence after a period of multiplication they invade the bloodstream via the thoracic duct.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 37
![Page 38: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Progress in Enteric Fever• The liver, gall bladder, spleen, kidney and bone
marrow become infected during this primary bacteraemic phase in the first 7-10 days of the incubation period. After multiplication in these organs, bacilli pass into the blood, causing a second and heavier bacteraemia, the onset of which approximately coincides with that of fever and other signs of clinical illness.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 38
![Page 39: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Progress in Enteric Fever
• From the gall bladder, a further invasion of the intestine results. Peyer's patches and other gut lymphoid tissues become involved in an inflammatory reaction, and infiltration with mononuclear cells, followed by necrosis, sloughing and the formation of characteristic typhoid ulcers occurs.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 39

Immunity in Typhoid
• Typhoid bacilli are Intracellular pathogens
• Cell mediated immunity is crucial

Complications of Enteric fever
• Intestinal perforation,• Hemorrhage,• Circulatory collapse.• Bronchitis Bronchopneumonia,• Meningitis,• Cholecystitis,• Arthritis,Periostitis / Nephritis,• Osteomyletis,
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 44

Relapses in Typhoid Fever
• Apparent recovery can be followed by relapse in 5-10% of untreated cases. Relapse is usually shorter and of milder character than the initial illness, but can be severe and may be fatal. Severe intestinal haemorrhage and intestinal perforation are serious complications that can occur at any stage of the illness.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 45
![Page 46: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Other complications• Causes relapses in
particular to patients treated with chloramphenicol.
• S.paratyphi produce septicemias.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 46
![Page 47: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Typhoid carriers • Salmonella enterica causes
approximately 16 million cases of typhoid fever worldwide, killing around 500,000 per year. One in thirty of the survivors, however, become carriers. In carriers the bacteria remain hidden inside cells and the gall bladder, causing new infections as they are shed from an apparently healthy host.
![Page 48: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Carrier Stage in Typhoid Fever
• Most people infected with salmonella continue to excrete the organism in their stools for days or weeks after complete clinical recovery, but eventual clearance of the bacteria from the body is usual. A few patients continue to excrete the salmonellae for prolonged periods. The term chronic carrier is reserved for those who excrete salmonellae for a year or more.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 48
![Page 49: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Carrier Stage in Typhoid Fever
• Chronic carriage can follow symptomatic illness or may be the only manifestation of infection. It can occur with any serotype, but is a particularly important feature of enteric fever: up to 5% of convalescents from typhoid and a smaller number of those who have recovered from paratyphoid fever become chronic carriers, many for a lifetime.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 49
![Page 50: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Carrier Stage in Typhoid Fever
• The bacilli are most commonly present in the gall bladder, less often in the urinary tract, and are shed in faeces and sometimes in urine. The long duration of the carrier state enables the enteric fever bacilli to survive in the community in non-epidemic times and to persist in small and relatively isolated communities.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 50

Bacteriological Diagnosis of Typhoid Fever
• Selective media, such as Deoxycholate-citrate agar or xylose-lysine Deoxycholate agar, are used for the isolation of salmonella bacteria from faeces. Fluid enrichment media, such as Tetrathionate or selenite broth, are also useful to detect small numbers of salmonellae in faeces, foods or environmental samples.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 54
![Page 55: Salmonella Infections an update](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813988550346895da11bfb/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Bacteriological Diagnosis of Typhoid Fever
• Suspicious colonies from the culture plates are tested directly for the presence of Salmonella somatic (O) antigens by slide agglutination and subcultured to peptone water for the determination of flagellar (H) antigen structure and further biochemical analysis.

Bacteriological Diagnosis of Typhoid Fever
• A presumptive diagnosis of salmonellosis can often be made within 24 h of the receipt of a specimen, although confirmation may take another day, and formal identification of the serotype takes several more days. A negative report must await the result of enrichment cultures - at least 48 h.

How we Diagnose Typhoid Fever
• Diagnosis is made by any blood, bone marrow or stool cultures and with the Widal test (demonstration of salmonella antibodies against antigens O-somatic and H-flagellar ). In epidemics and less wealthy countries, after excluding malaria, dysentery or pneumonia, a therapeutic trial time with chloramphenicol is generally undertaken while awaiting the results of Widal test and cultures of the blood and stool.

Widal Test• In 1896 Widal A professor of
pathology and internal medicine at the University of Paris (1911–29), he developed a procedure for diagnosing typhoid fever based on the fact that antibodies in the blood of an infected individual cause the bacteria to bind together into clumps (the Widal reaction).

Diagnosis of Enteric FeverWidal test
• Serum agglutinins raise abruptly during the 2nd or 3rd week
• The Widal test detects antibodies against O and H antigens
• Two serum specimens obtained at intervals of 7 – 10 days to read the raise of antibodies.
• Serial dilutions on unknown sera are tested against the antigens for respective Salmonella
• False positives and False negative limits the utility of the test
• The interpretative criteria when single serum specimens are tested vary
• Cross reactions limits the specificity

False Positive and Negative Reactions with WIDAL Test
• The Widal test should be interpreted in the light of baseline titers in a healthy local population. This is especially important when there is a high local prevalence of non-typhoid salmonellosis. The Widal test may be falsely positive in patients who have had previous vaccination or infection with S typhi.

False Positive and Negative Reactions with WIDAL Test
• Widal titers have also been reported in association with the dysgammaglobulinaemia of chronic active hepatitis and other autoimmune diseases.64 '8 '9 False negative results may be associated with early treatment, with "hidden organisms" in bone and joints, and with relapses of typhoid fever. Occasionally the infecting strains are poorly immunogenic.

Food Poisoning• The laboratory diagnosis of bacterial food poisoning
depends on isolation of the causal organism from samples of faeces or suspected foodstuffs. The more common food-poisoning serotypes, such as Enteritidis or Typhimuruim, may be characterized more fully by phage typing and antibiotic resistance typing (see above). Strains can be differentiated further by plasmid and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis typing so that the isolates from patients may be matched with those from the infected food and from a suspected animal source.
