Sponsor's own description

Typhoid fever is an infection caused by the bacteria Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi). S. Typhi causes disease principally in developing countries where communities do not have access to safe water or adequate sanitation. It is thought to cause illness in approximately 22 million people every year and up to 200,000 deaths, mostly in children. The bacteria are spread when faeces from infected individuals contaminate food and water sources. Symptoms of infection include headache, fever and general aches and pains. If not treated properly typhoid infection can lead to severe complications and even death. In this study the investigators aim to understand more about the S. Typhi bacteria and how S. Typhi causes a bloodstream infection after it has been ingested and passed into the gut. In spite of the extensive morbidity and mortality associated with bacterial blood stream infections (BSI), comparatively little is known about the pathogenesis. At a time of increasing antimicrobial resistance and a lack of new antimicrobial agents, understanding the pathogenesis of BSI is essential for efforts directed at prevention both of Salmonella Typhi and other bacterial species, particularly those that are restricted to humans.
