Yes, the bacteria that cause typhoid fever, primarily Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi, can reside and grow in the gallbladder. In some individuals, particularly those who become chronic carriers, the bacteria can persist in the gallbladder, leading to intermittent shedding into the intestines and potentially causing reinfection. This chronic carriage is a significant concern for public health, as these carriers can transmit the bacteria to others.
