Identification Of Salmonella Enterica Subspecies Enterica Serovar Typhi-Specific Genes For The Development Of Dna-Based And Antibody-Based Diagnostics For Typhoid Fever
Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi). It is an acute systemic disease which remains a major public health burden worldwide. A lack of specific and sensitive diagnostic markers for detection of S. Typhi at single-gene target resolution prevents e...
