Reveal for Salmonella Test System

Evaluation of the Reveal quick test for Salmonella detection in raw chicken meat.

Salmonella belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family, and is the cause of illnesses such as enteric fevers, enteritis and septicemia. Accordingly, a necessity exists of researching and developing new techniques,--which must be sensible, specific, economic and fast--for genus determination; all this related to the culture technique (official technique). In the present work, 80 samples of chicken ...

Microtiter plate agglutination test for Salmonella antibodies.

Similar results were obtained when testing human sera for Salmonella antibodies by the tube agglutination test and by the Microtiter plate agglutination test. The plate test was easier to perform and saved time, space, antigen, and serum.

Development of a PCR test system for specific detection of Salmonella Paratyphi B in foods.

Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi B is a globally distributed human-specific pathogen causing paratyphoid fever. The aim of this study was to develop a rapid and reliable polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for its detection in food. The SPAB_01124 gene was found to be unique to S. Paratyphi B using comparative genomics. Primers for fragments of the SPAB_01124 gene and the Salmonella-spe...

Evaluation of the Wellcolex Colour Salmonella Test for detection of Salmonella spp. in enrichment broths.

The Wellcolex Colour Salmonella Test was evaluated for detection of Salmonella spp. in enrichment broths of 1,010 stool samples. In 39 specimens, Salmonella spp. could be isolated from the selenite F broth (SF). Wellcolex agglutination indicative of the presence of Salmonella spp. was noted with the SF in 36 cases, 34 of which were in agreement with the subculture results. Therefore, relative t...
