After detailed history specially drug history and clinical examination, they were provisionally diagnosed as a typhoid fever. All the suspected typhoid fever patient’s were send to the laboratory for blood culture. Samples were collected in fully aseptic manner.

Results: Out of 96 patients, 52 (54.17%) patients were comes in 5-20 years of age, which was the commonest and with male preponderance (61.54%). Female to male ratio was 1:1.52. In the present study a total of 72 (75%) isolates obtained from blood culture, they were highly sensitive to chloramphenical (86.12%), Ampicillin (86.11%), and cotrimoxazole (86%). Highest sensitivity was seen for cephalosporins, followed by Quinolones, 6.95% of the strains to be sensitive to all the drugs and 15.28% were multidrug resistance(MDR).
