Evaluation of VIDAS Salmonella (SLM) immunoassay method with Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) medium for detection of Salmonella in foods: collaborative study.

A collaborative study was conducted to compare the VIDAS Salmonella (SLM) with Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) method for detection of Salmonella in foods to the current standard method presented in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) and the culture method presented in AOAC's Official Methods of Analysis.

Evaluation of VIDAS Immuno-Concentration Salmonella (ICS)/VIDAS Salmonella (SLM) immunoassay method for detection of Salmonella in selected foods (Method Modification 2001.09): collaborative study.

A new method for detection of Salmonella in foods in a minimum of 24 h was adopted as an AOAC Official First Action Method for selected foods (2001.09) using both the VIDAS Immuno-Concentration Salmonella (ICS) and VIDAS Salmonella (SLM) methods.

Evaluation of VIDAS Immuno-Concentration Salmonella (ICS) plus selective plate method (Hektoen enteric, bismuth sulfite, xylose lysine desoxycholate) for detection of Salmonella in selected foods (Method Modification 2001.08): collaborative study.

A new method for detection of Salmonella in foods in 48 h has been granted AOAC First Action approval in selected foods (Official Method 2001.08) using both the VIDAS Immuno-Concentration Salmonella (ICS) method and a combination of 3 selective plates: Hektoen enteric (HE), bismuth sulfite (BS), and xylose lysine desoxycholate (XLD).

Evaluation of VIDAS Immuno-Concentration Salmonella (ICS) plus selective plate method (Hektoen enteric, bismuth sulfite, Salmonella identification) for detection of Salmonella in selected foods (Method Modification 2001.07): collaborative study.

A new method for detection of Salmonella in foods in 48 h has been granted AOAC First Action approval in selected foods (Official Method 2001.07) using both the VIDAS Immuno-Concentration Salmonella (ICS) method and a combination of 3 selective plates: Hektoen enteric (HE), bismuth sulfite (BS), and Salmonella Identification (SMID).

3M Petrifilm Staph Express Count plate method for the enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in selected types of meat, seafood, and poultry: collaborative study.

The 3M Petrifilm Staph Express Count plate method was compared with AOAC Official Method 975.55 for the enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in selected foods. Four foods--cooked, diced chicken; cured ham; smoked salmon; and pepperoni--were analyzed for S.
