text: what medication can you priscribe for the cure of typhoid fever in a patient? please, i need urgent answer salmonella typhi is similar to other salmonellae in that it is a gram-negative, flagellate, nonencapsulated, nonsporulating, facultative anaerobic bacillus that ferments glucose, reduces nitrate to nitrite, and synthesizes peritrichous flagella when motile.   being such, you can use chloramphenicol, ampicillin (or any penicillin), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin (or any quinolone), a 3rd generation cephalosporin, or azithromycin.
