Salmonella typhi bacteria. In 2008, detection of typhoid fever was carried out using

Salmonella typhi O9 present in serum by employing the method of Inhibition
Magnetic Binding Immunoassay (IMBI).  The present study was aimed to evaluate
results of blood sample examination of suspected typhoid fever patient using the
tubex test, in order to confirm the typhoid fever diagnose. This research was
