Abstract The VIDAS Immuno-concentration Salmonella (ICS) plus selective plate method (Hektoen enteric, xylose lysine desoxycholate, bismuth sulfite) method for the detection of Salmonella was compared to the Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM)/AOAC culture method in a collaborative study. Thirty-two laboratories participated in the evaluation. Each laboratory tested one or more of the 6 test products: milk chocolate, nonfat dry milk, dried whole egg, soy flour, ground black pepper, and ground raw turkey. The 2 methods were in agreement for 1297 of the 1455 samples. Of the 158 samples not in agreement, 82 were VIDAS ICS plus selective plate-positive and BAM/AOAC-negative, and 76 were VIDAS ICS plus selective plate-negative and BAM/AOAC-positive.

Abstract The VIDAS SLM method for detection of Salmonella was compared with the Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM)/AOAC culture method in a collaborative study. Twenty laboratories participated in the evaluation. Each laboratory tested one or more of 6 test products: milk chocolate, nonfat dry milk, dried whole egg, soy flour, ground black pepper, and ground raw turkey. No significant differences (P< 0.05) were observed between the 2 methods. The 2 methods were in agreement for 99% of 1544 samples analyzed. Of the 20 samples out of agreement, 8 were VIDAS SLM positive and BAM/AOAC negative, and 12 were VIDAS SLM negative and BAM/AOAC positive. The VIDAS SLM method for detection of Salmonella in foods has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

abstract A collaborative study was performed in 27 laboratories to validate the enzyme-linked immunosorbent procedure LOCATE for rapid detection of Salmonella in foods. Results were read visually and with a microtiter plate reader. The LOCATE method was compared with the Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM)/AOAC INTERNATIONAL culture method for detecting Salmonella in 6 foods: milk chocolate, nonfat dry milk, dried whole egg, soy flour, ground black pepper, and ground raw turkey. Two foods—dried whole egg and black pepper—required repeat rounds because insufficient data sets were produced initially (AOAC INTERNATIONAL stipulates a minimum of 15 sets per food type). Each laboratory tested one or more of the 6 foods. A total of 1 439 samples were analyzed, and no significant differences (P <0.05) were observed between LOCATE with either visual or reader detection and BAM/AOAC INTERNATIONAL results. The LOCATE screening method with visual or reader detection is recommended for Official First Action Approval

Abstract A new enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method for detection of motile and non-motile Salmonella was examined in a multilaboratory collaborative study. This method uses a proprietary formulation of polyclonal antibodies to Salmonella and is controlled to maintain specificity. Sensitivity is enhanced with an additional antibody reaction designed to minimize false-negative reactions attributable to steric interference that can occur during conjugate binding in immunoassay procedures. Thirty-two laboratories participated in this evaluation, which included 6 food types: nonfat dry milk, dry egg, black pepper, soy flour, chocolate, and ground poultry. Of the 1020 samples analyzed, there was a 97.2% agreement rate between the EIA method and the AOAC/Bacteriological Analytical Manual(BAM) culture method, 967.26. False-negative rates for the 2 methods were comparable for all foods and all Salmonella levels except ground poultry, where the EIA method detected significantly more confirmed positive samples than did the AOAC/BAM method. Nineteen samples were positive by EIA but negative by the culture method, and 10 samples were negative by EIA but positive by the culture method

Abstract A collaborative study was performed in 11 laboratories to validate a DNA hybridization (DNAH) procedure for detection of Salmonella in foods. The DNAH procedure was compared to the standard culture method for detection of Salmonella in 6 foods: ground pepper, soy flour, dry whole egg, milk chocolate, nonfat dry milk, and raw deboned turkey. With the exception of turkey which was naturally contaminated, uninoculated and inoculated samples of each food group were analyzed. Results for the DNAH method were significantly better than for the standard culture method at the 5% probability level for the detection of Salmonella in turkey. There was no significant difference between the methods for the other 5 foods. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A collaborative study was performed to validate the performance of the 1-2 TEST® for detection of motile salmonellae in foods. Detection is based on observation of an immobilized band of cells. Twentythree laboratories participated in the study. The 1-2 TEST (immunodiffusion test) was compared with the standard culture procedure (BAM/AOAC; FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual) for detection of Salmonella in 6 food types: ground black pepper, soy flour, dried whole egg, milk chocolate, nonfat dry milk, and raw deboned turkey. Uninoculated and inoculated samples were included in each food group analyzed. After the tests on the 6 foods were completed, analysis of the data for turkey and soy flour showed that certain collaborators obtained data inconsistent with the data from the majority of collaborators. No specific method deviations to account for the inconsistencies were reported by those collaborators, so the collaborative testing of these 2 foods was repeated. Analysis of data for pepper, chocolate, nonfat dry milk, dried whole egg, and the second set of soy flour and turkey indicated 96.1% agreement between the BAM/AOAC and immunodiffusion test methods. The false negative rates for the immunodiffusion test and BAM/AOAC methods were 3.6 and 1.7%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the productivity of the immunodiffusion test and BAM/AOAC method at the 5% level for any of the 6 foods. The immunodiffusion screening method has been approved official first action for detection of motile Salmonella in food

Abstract 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.

Abstract A collaborative study was performed in 13 laboratories to validate a visual enzyme immunoassay (EIA) procedure, TECRA®, for rapid detection of Salmonella in foods. The EIA method was compared with the standard culture procedure for detection of Salmonella in 6 food types: ground black pepper, soy flour, dried whole eggs, milk chocolate, nonfat dry milk, and raw deboned turkey. Uninoculated and inoculated samples were included in each food group analyzed. There was no significant difference in the productivity of the EIA and culture procedures at the 5% level for any of the 6 foods. The enzyme immunoassay screening method has been approved interim official first action.

Abstract A collaborative study was performed by 30 laboratories in 3 sets of trials to validate a modified colorimetric monoclonal enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method for Salmonella detection. The modifications to the current methodology included incubation of enrichments and postenrichments at an elevated temperature, addition of novobiocin to the M-broth post-enrichment, and elimination of the centrifugation and agitation steps. Five artificially contaminated foods (nonfat dry milk, milk chocolate, dried egg, ground black pepper, and soy flour) and 1 naturally contaminated food (raw ground turkey) were analyzed. The artificially contaminated foods were inoculated with individual Salmonella serotypes at a high (10–50 cells/25 g) and low (1–5 cells/25 g) contamination level. Results from the modified ELISA method were compared to the Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM)/AOAC culture method. In 2 of the food products, milk chocolate and pepper, a number of laboratories isolated Salmonella from uninoculated control samples, thus invalidating their data. As a result, there were too few laboratories remaining with valid data, and these foods were repeated. In the completed study, there were 11 false negative results obtained by the modified ELISA method, while there were 28 false negatives produced by the BAM/AOAC procedure. There were 11 ELISA positive assays which could not be confirmed by culture methods. Statistically, there were no differences between the modified, colorimetric, monoclonal ELISA and the reference culture method in all foods except raw turkey, where the ELISA method was more productive. The colorimetric monoclonal enzyme immunoassay (Salmonella-Tek) method for detecting Salmonella in all foods has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.
