Salmonella Typhi lives in humans and is spread by the fecal- oral route. This can occur by consuming food or drink prepared by an infected person or carrier, contact with feces of an infected person that is not followed by proper hand washing, or consuming food contaminated by sewage.

Though rare in industrialized countries Salmonella Typhi remains a serious health threat in the developing world. Easy steps for prevention include washing your hands, drinking bottled water only, avoiding raw fruits and vegetables, and eating hot food only. There is also a vaccine that is about 50 percent effective for anyone who will have prolonged exposure to foods, persons, or bacteria carrying the Salmonella Typhi pathogen.
