Whole blood transcriptome in humans experimentally infected with Salmonella Typhi
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In this study participants were experimentally challenged with an infective dose of S. Typhi (1-5x10^3-4 cfu) and followed over at least 14 days. Every study participant was treated with antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, 500 mg twice daily, 14 days) on day 14 after challenge unless diagnosed with typhoid fever at which time treatment commenced immediately (ciprofloxacin, 500 mg twice daily, 14 days). For details about the study design please refer to Waddington et al. CID 2014 May;58(9):1230-40. Criteria for typhoid diagnosis were either microbiological (≥1 positive blood culture collected after day 5) and/or clinical (fever ≥38°C sustained for ≥12hrs). 3mL of venous blood was obtained at pre-challenge baselines, 24hrs prior typhoid diagnosis, day of diagnosis, 24hrs post-diagnosis and day 14 after challenge in those diagnosed with acute typhoid fever. In those who did not develop typhoid despite oral challenge samples were obtained at pre-challenge, day 7 and day 14 after challenge. The samples are labelled with one of the following accronyms: V1: Day 0, i.e. pre-challenge control. D7: day 7 after challenge. TD-24: 24hrs prior to typhoid diagnosis. TD: day of typhoid diagnosis. TD+24: 24hrs after typhoid diagnosis. D14: day 14 after challenge.
