The TECRA Salmonella Enzyme Immunoassay was compared with a conventional culture method for the detection of salmonella in naturally contaminated foods and animal feeds. Rappaport Vassiliadis enrichment prior to ELISA and photometric reading of the results gave 95% agreement with the conventional method. Presumptive positive results can be reported within 48 h.
