) and Real-time PCR by Comparing with a Conventional Culture Method for the Detection of Salmonella spp.



Evaluation of an Automated ELISA (VIDAS are important food-borne pathogens of significant concern for public health both domestically and internationally ( 20 , 39 , 42 ).





To our knowledge, this is the first report on the evaluation of the BAX system, the Tecra Unique TM Salmonella test, and a conventional culture method for the detection of Salmonella serotypes, including S. Typhi, in a variety of western‐ and oriental‐style ready‐to‐eat raw …

Health Protection Agency (HPA) F13], which requires three working days to generate a negative result and five working days for a confirmed positive result, more rapid and specific methods, such as the commercial automated BAX‐PCR system can reduce the turnaround time (including the overnight pre‐enrichment step) to about 24 h (Our laboratory tests a variety of ready‐to‐eat cooked and raw foods for Food samples, such as raw pork, raw poultry, and those in the nine major ready‐to‐eat food groups covered under the local food surveillance programme were selected (For the analyses using the BAX system and conventional culture method, food sample portions in stomacher bags were homogenized with 225‐ml buffered peptone water (BPW; Oxoid) for 1 min at 230 rev minThe homogenates of replicate egg tart samples were inoculated with 10In the sensitivity tests, homogenates of the ready‐to‐eat meal sample (fried rice with meat) and the salmon sushi sample were inoculated with different concentrations of One millilitre of the incubated pre‐enrichment culture of each food sample was transferred together with an antibody‐coated stick to tube 1 of the Tecra test kit module.

After biofilm formation, tests were performed under different drying times (0, 6, 12, 24, and 72 h) and pre-enrichment times (0, 6, 18, and 25 h).

A similar pattern has been seen in the USA, but the incidence has remained steady at roughly 15 cases per 100,000 people since 2001.
