Abstract: respectively; and Sal02, TR4699 and TR2 having 15, 20 and 23 alleles respectively. Conclusion: In summary, we have identified 6 polymorphic VNTR loci suitable for MLVA analysis of Salmonella Typhi strains. The fivemost diverse VNTR loci will be selected for theMLVA assay and will be used to analyse Salmonella Typhi strains from SSA. This work will assist in rapidly identifying strain relatedness and assist outbreak detection in typhoid fever outbreaks.
