Evaluation of an Electricity-free, Culture-based Approach for Detecting Typhoidal Salmonella Bacteremia during Enteric Fever in a High Burden, Resource-limited Setting

Sample temperature readings from phase-change incubator.
Example of temperature readings, recorded every five minutes inside the incubator over a period of 72 hours. Exchange of phase change packets was performed daily (red arrows) to “recharge” the incubator and leads to brief periods of lower temperatures followed by higher temperatures (inset), which were not found to impact bacterial growth.
