In this study we investigated the molecular epidemiology of a suspected well-water borne S. Typhi outbreak occurred in a district of Malatya-Turkey. This outbreak affected 10 patients in two days. Arbitrary primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) based typing showed two clones, one had seven, and the other had three strains, supporting outbreak speculation. By adding chlorine to wells by local municipal authority, the outbreak ended within a very short time (about ten days).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTyphoid feverSalmonella Typhiwaterborne outbreakArticle4011701732403133810.1590/S1517-838220090001000292-s2.0-67149093422Q3WOS:000266137000029Q4
