Testing methodology for Salmonella Enteritidis (SE)

FDA has determined that the following methods are equivalent to "Environmental Sampling and Detection of Salmonella in Poultry Houses" (April 2008) in accuracy, precision, and sensitivity in detecting Salmonella Enteritidis:

  1. "Procedures for collection, isolation and identification of Salmonella from environmental samples, cloacal swabs, chick box papers, and meconium samples," 9 CFR 147.12.(September 2010)
  2. SDIX RapidChek SELECT™ Salmonella Enteritidis Test System
  3. Neogen Reveal Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) Test System
  4. Applied Biosystems TaqMan® Salmonella Enteritidis Detection Kit from Life Technologies.

 

FDA has determined that the following methods are equivalent to Chapter 5 (Salmonella) of FDA's Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM, December 2007 Edition) in accuracy, precision, and sensitivity in detecting Salmonella Enteritidis:

  1. Applied Biosystems TaqMan® Salmonella Enteritidis Detection Kit from Life Technologies, both with and without the 96-hour hold time recommended by the BAM.
  2. SDIX RapidChek SELECT™ Salmonella Enteritidis Test System, without the 96-hour hold time recommended by the BAM.
  3. Neogen Reveal Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) Test System, but only with the 96-hour hold time recommended by the BAM. It is not considered equivalent without the 96-hour hold time.
  4. The BAX® System PCR Assay for Salmonella and the BAX® System PCR Assay for Salmonella 2, without the 96-hour hold time recommended by the BAM.
