Comparison of rapid cultural methods for the detection of Salmonella species.

摘要

Three newly developed rapid cultural methods (Rapid Salmonella, PrecisTM Salmonella, IBISA Salmonella) for the detection of Salmonella spp. were compared to a reference method. All methods performed comparably on inclusivity/exclusivity testing. Similar limits of detection were observed for all methods with milk, cocoa and bouillon matrices. Some tea varieties appeared to disturb the normal color formation of all selective agars tested
