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. The VIDAS SLM with RV method uses tetrathionate broth in combination with RV medium in place of selenite cystine broth for selective enrichment, thereby eliminating the hazardous waste issue for laboratories. Twenty five laboratories participated in the evaluation, each testing one or more of 8 test products: nonfat dry milk, dried egg, soy flour, lactic casein, milk chocolate, raw ground pork, raw ground turkey, and raw peeled shrimp. Results of the study showed no significant differences in the numbers of confirmed positive samples with the VIDAS SLM with RV procedure and the BAM/AOAC culture procedure. The VIDAS SLM with RV method was effective for rapid detection of Salmonella in foods. It is recommended that AOAC INTERNATIONAL modify the VIDAS Salmonella SLM procedure to include the RV method.

The objective of this study is to validate the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rea-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay, the Neogen Amplified Nucleic Single Temperature Reaction (ANSR) assay, and the Vitek ImmunoDiagnostic Assay System (VIDAS) SLM procedure against the FDA cultural procedure for Salmonella detection in green chile pepper. Green chile was artificially contaminated with Salmonella according to the FDA guidelines (FDA. Guidelines for the Validation of Microbiological Methods for the FDA Foods Program, 3rd Edition.

This study was conducted in north-eastern Tunisia to estimate the contamination prevalence of Salmonella in broilers' meat, to rank serotypes and to characterize the isolated multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. A total number of 1288 meat samples were collected from 322 broiler batches; Salmonella isolates were identified by the alternative technique VIDAS Easy Salmonella. The susceptibility of Salmonella isolates was assessed against 21 antimicrobials using the disc diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton agar.

Background: Sprout growers in the United States are required to test spent sprout irrigation water (SSIW) or in-process sprouts for Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella species. Pathogen screening kits are commercially available; however, few have been validated for analysis of sprouts or SSIW.
Objective: This study evaluated AOAC-certified test kits (lateral flow devices [LFDs], enzyme immunoassays [EIAs], and molecular assays) in comparison with culture methods described in the U.

This study was conducted in northeastern Tunisia to estimate both the prevalence and the risk factors of in broiler flocks as well as to characterize the isolated multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. In the present study, a total number of 124 farms were sampled; isolates were identified by the alternative technique . The susceptibility of isolates was assessed against 21 antimicrobials using the disk diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton agar using antimicrobial discs.

In this study, the possible influence of the food matrix and the interfering population of microorganisms on the detection and count of in three common foods of the Spanish diet (Spanish omelette, fresh cheese and vegetable salad) was determined. Four groups were assayed: one control, two groups with interfering microorganisms ( Enteritidis, and ) with different levels of and a final group only contaminated with . The samples were analyzed with the normalized method (UNE-EN ISO 11290:2018) and with an alternative technique (VIDAS).
