Trypticase soy broth added with 0.05 percent sodium polyanethol sulfonate (TSB-SPS) were compared to 10 percent oxgall (BCO) medium for the isolation of salmonella typhi from blood of patients suspect with typhoid fever. A total of 160 febrile patients was included in the study and S. typhi was isolated from the blood cultures of 85 patients (52 percent), 77 (48 percent) were positive from TSB-…
