Overview

Children and adults should be carefully educated about personal hygiene. This would include careful hand washing after defecation and sexual contact, before preparing or eating food, and especially the sanitary disposal of feces. Food handlers should be educated in personal hygiene prior to handling food or utensils and equipment. Infected individuals should be advised to avoid food preparation.

Those who travel to countries with poor sanitation should receive a Typhoid vaccine, which provides protection against Typhoid fever but NOT Paratyphoid Infection A, B or C, prior to departure. Sexually active people should be educated about the risks of sexual practices that permit fecal-oral contact. Owners of tropical fish should ensure scrupulous cleaning of aquariums to eliminate potential S. Paratyphi B organisms.
