sulfamethoxazole. Surgical drainage of metastatic
abscesses may be required.

needs only supportive therapy
(antibiotic treatment may prolong the symptoms and
excretion of the salmonellae). Drugs to control
hypermotility of the gut should be avoided.

Stool culture
Urine culture
Blood cultures are positive during the first week and after the second week
Stool cultures and sometimes urine cultures are positive after the second week
What is the Widal test?
It is indirect serological test for antibodies against Salmonella typhi.
In Enteric fever (typhoid fever) mention the types of agar for the following cultures
Blood culture

Urine culture
Blood culture on MacConkey or DCA medium.
Stool culture on MacConkey or DCA medium or salmonella-shigella (SS) agar and also inoculated into tubes of selenite and tetrathionate broth
Urine culture on MacConkey or DCA medium.
Mention the 2 types of Salmonella that cause food poisoning:
