title: [Detection of Salmonella in water by using MUCAP test].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the sensitivity, specification, detection limit and the practical use of MUCAP method for the detection of Salmonella in water.
  
  
  METHODS
  A comprehensive method of pre-enrichment + selective cultivation + initial screening with MUCAP + oxidase test + serological test was applied to check Salmonella in water samples spiked with bacteria and environmental water samples.
  
  
  RESULTS
  the sensitivity of MUCAP method was 100%, the specification was 80.8%, and the detection limit was 1 cfu/100 ml.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MUCAP method can effectively identify Salmonella in water and the testing time was shortening from 72h to 48h.
