Abstract
Salmonella typhi is an enteric serotype belonging, the Enterobacteriacaea family, as they inhabit the lymphatic tissues of the small intestine, liver, spleen, and the bloodstream of the infected human. The samples were collected distributed between ages (1-≤ 50) years and for different samples (stool, urine, blood) and for both sexes .Pathogenicity markers were also detected by Vitek test and 16 SrRNA using PCR technology. The results of isolation during the study period 14/8/2022 to 14/12/2022 showed that 51 samples out of 120 isolates were positive with the ratio of 27% that belonged to S. typhi and 16% belonged to other bacterial species . The molecular detection of some virulence genes (ViaB, InvA, Flic-d) was carried out for 32 S. typhi isolates using PCR technique. It was found that the DNA of all isolates contained these genes with 100%. The results of some isolated S. typhi strains showed the presence of genetic mutations of the non-conservative type in the amino acids of the InvA gene in the bacterial strain OQ6968441.1, where the amino acid Arginine R replaced the L-Lucene. For the Flic-d gene of the bacterial strain OQ703101.1, three non-conservative genetic mutations were found within this bacterial strain for each of the amino acid Aspartate D at one site and the amino acid Threonine T at two sites. For the T sites, they were replaced by the amino acid Asparagine N and Proline P, respectively.
