Thanks for your query at HCM!
I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query!

Dear Salmonella and Staph are two different organisms.
Normally the titres depend upon the edemic titres of every region.
But "O titres"> 1:100 and "H titres " > 1: 200 are considered diagnostic.
The person after treatment is not a threat.
But chronic carriers must be tested by stool examination for salmonella infection.


Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide. You can take a follow-up query.
Take care!
