title: Development and evaluation of a simple, one-step salmonella isolation test.
abstract: A one-step test unit was developed which allowed migration of salmonellas to selective medium and indicated the presence of salmonella by motility inhibition using polyvalent flagella antiserum. Evaluation of the method using 1038 naturally contaminated samples led to identification of more contaminated samples than a standard method within 24 h as opposed to 96 h.
