The mode of transmission of the S. typhi was presumed to be a laboratory infection from an unknown source. Although there was no obvious breakdown in safe laboratory techniques, the infecting dose of S. typhi is known to be small and the dangers of handling specimens which may contain this bacterium are emphasized.
