Declarations
:
: All participants were adults aged 18 years or more. We ensured that participant information materials were available in English and Chichewa languages. We obtained written informed consent from each enrolled participant, which included consent for the described laboratory analyses. Our protocol stated that participants who were stool culture positive for <i>S.</i> Typhi would be advised to take either 28 days of ciprofloxacin or 14 days of azithromycin with the aim of eradicating carriage and preventing onward transmission, but this proved not to be necessary. We conducted study procedures in accordance with a protocol approved by the Malawi College of Medicine Research Ethics Committee, P.10/16/2043.
