Abstract
Methods outlined in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) and the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (A.O.A.C.) are accepted as standard procedures to which most accelerated procedures are compared. The enrichment serology (ES) and the fluorescent antibody (FA) procedures are reviewed as rapid procedures applicable to detection of Salmonella in animal feeds, condiments, foods, food by-products, and pharmaceuticals. Methodologies of the conventional cultural and accelerated procedures are presented along with evaluations of each procedure with known Salmonella serotypes.
