Introduction: A total of (50) clinical specimens were collected from patients suffering from gall bladder attending to ALSadder Medical City and AL-Furat General Hospital include (gall bladder tissue, stool and blood) during the period from December 2016 to September 2017 from different age and sex. Methodology: The identification of Salmonella typhi isolates were depended on colonial morphology and biochemical tests as a primary identification. The final identification was performed with the automated VITEK-2 compact system. Result: According to the results obtained by the VITEK tests, thirty five clinical isolates of Salmonella typhi were obtained. This study revealed that totally 35 (70%) positive result include that 23 (65.7%) isolates was positive from gall bladder tissue, 11 (31.4%) from stool and 1 (2.8%) from blood. The study investigated the virulence factors encoding genes of Salmonella typhi, which play a major role in enterococcus pathogenicity such as Vi (R1), Vi (R2), ViaB , InvA, SpvC, and FimA. These genes have important role in invasion and adhesion. Conclusion: The study showed that the virulence factors of Salmonella typhi, which play a major role in their pathogenicity among gall bladder chronic infection
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
