A method is described whereby the presence ofSalmonella spp. can be detected within 8 to 24 h of sample collection. The method depends upon the interaction ofSalmonella spp. with theSalmonella -specific Felix-O1 bacteriophage. This interaction results in an increase in concentration of the bacteriophage which is detected by high-performance liquid chromatographic techniques.
