Evaluation of rapid screening techniques for detection of Salmonella
spp. from produce samples after pre-enrichment according to FDA BAM and a short secondary enrichment
Abstract:In the event of a foodborne disease outbreak, rapid identification and characterization of the pathogen is essential to prevent the spread of disease and reduce the number of illnesses. This study reports the utility of an abbreviated secondary enrichment for the isolation of Salmonella in artificially contaminated fresh produce at very low levels. In addition, incorporation of rapid, easy-to-use lateral flow devices to screen enrichments can provide a low cost (equipment and highly trained personnel), high re… Show more
