Knowledge Structure and Research Trends of Salmonella Typhi Studies in India: A Scientometric and Topic Modeling Analysis (2010-2025)

This study aims to analyse recent trends in Salmonella typhi research in India from 20102025. Salmonella typhi is a bacterium that causes typhoid, which is a life-threatening disease. India is facing a significant health concern with typhoid. In 2021,10 million cases of typhoid were reported, which is an all-time high worldwide. In this scenario, it is necessary to raise awareness of this bacterium and its consequences. This study identifies research trends in Indian Salmonella research from 2010 to 2025, providing an overview of the study's findings to the academic community, research scholars, medical practitioners, and general individuals. To conduct the study, a scientometric approach has been adopted, and data have been collected from the Elsevier Scopus database. By stringing a search query in Scopus, a total of 16207 records were retrieved. The data were analysed and presented using software such as Biblioshiny and Microsoft Excel. The analysis reveals key thematic areas such as antimicrobial; antibacterial, nanoparticles and pathogenic investigation indicate interdisciplinary nature of antimicrobial research. The documents showed an annual growth rate of 8.54 per cent. 41758 authors contributed to these fields during these 16 years. The average citation per document was 25.54. The findings of the study help the researchers with future studies and identify gaps for further investigation.
