[email protected] Abstract: In the 21st century, enteric fever is still causing a significant number of mortalities, espe- cially in high-risk regions of the world. Genetic studies involving the genome and transcriptome have revealed a broad set of candidate genetic polymorphisms associated with susceptibility to Citation: Ma, P.Y.; Tan, J.E.; Hee, and the severity of enteric fever. This review attempted to explain and discuss the past and the E.W.; Yong, D.W.X.; Heng, Y.S.; Low, W.X.; Wu, X.H.; Cletus, C.; Kumar most recent findings on human genetic variants affecting the progression of Salmonella typhoidal Chellappan, D.; Aung, K.; et al.
