Salmonella enterica serovar typhi (Salmonella typhi) causing typhoid fever is common in many parts of the world particularly in developing countries. Extra-intestinal manifestations such as osteomyelitis are rare in immunocompetent individuals. We report a case of Salmonella typhi osteomyelitis of a rib with overlying abscess mimicking a 'cold abscess', treatment outcomes and discuss relevant literature.

Microbial metabolic enzymes play a crucial role in several biological processes that have a significant impact on growth and proliferation. Therefore, inhibiting specific key metabolic enzymes can be an applicable approach for developing antimicrobial agents that selectively target pathogens. In the current study, selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) extracellularly biosynthesized by Nocardiopsis sp.
