Bacteria Paratyphoid

Bacteria of the paratyphoid group (family Enterobacteriacea) are the causative agents of three different diseases: paratyphoid A, paratyphoid B and paratyphoid C. All of them belong to the genus Salmonella.

Paratyphoid A is caused by the bacterium Salmonella paratyphi A, which is one of the most common pathogens of acute intestinal infections in the world. It is transmitted through contaminated food or water, or through contact with an infected person. Symptoms of paratyphoid A include high fever, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Treatment includes antibiotics and rehydration.

The bacterium Salmonella schottmuelleri causes paratyphoid B, which is also known as Scots paratyphoid fever. It is usually spread through contact with animals such as sheep, goats and pigs, and can also be transmitted through contaminated water or food. Symptoms of paratyphoid B include fever, abdominal pain and nausea. Treatment also includes antibiotics.

Finally, the bacteria Salmonella hirschfeldi causes paratyphoid C, which is usually transmitted through contaminated food. Symptoms of paratyphoid C include fever and vomiting, and treatment also includes antibiotics.

All three diseases are serious infections that can lead to serious complications if not treated promptly. Therefore, it is important to know the symptoms of these diseases and take precautions to avoid infection.



Paratyphorus bacteria is the common name for bacteria of the genus Salmonella of the Enterobacteriacae family, which are the causative agents of acute paratyphoid enteritis (paratyphoid A and B), salmonellosis gastroenteritis and septicemia. Paratyphoses (lat. Paratyphus) are a group of acute human infectious diseases caused by bacteria of the genus Salmon
