Is it true that Mary Mallon, known as Typhoid Mary, was an asymptomatic carrier of Salmonella typhi who infected others?
Unclear. The retrieved sources confirm that Salmonella typhi causes typhoid fever and that chronic human carriers can shed the pathogen and transmit it to others, but none of them names Mary Mallon or addresses her individual case as Typhoid Mary.
