Wow, we knew it was getting worse, right?
At its worst, typhoid can kill.
Typhoid (enteric fever) is caused by contaminated food or water. Left untreated, it kills one in five. The cure is a simple course of antibiotics. But antibiotics used to cure typhoid are failing. The bacteria, Salmonella typhi, have developed resistance to the antibiotics; the problem of resistant infections is global and borderless.
