2 Background Normally, Salmonella detection from food sample is processed these following steps, Pre-culture, Selective enrichment culture, Isolation and Confirmation/Identification. There are strong customer demands to improve the test procedure for more simple and rapid one, if it could have an equivalent result. We develop simple and easy medium for Salmonella detection (Compact Dry SL, hereinafter CDSL) that detects Salmonella by combination of biochemical reaction, specific enzyme reaction and detection of motility of Salmonella. CDSL is screening method for detecting Salmonella which inoculate pre-culture sample as a specimen. Herewith we report CDSL evaluation results compared with conventional culture methods using meats on the market, 1 growth and color forming used by pure culture strains recovery of Salmonella from food materials 3 comparison (sensitivity/specificity/agreement) between conventional method and CDSL

3 Package, CDSL

4 Comparison of operation between conventional method and CDSL Conventional CDSL Day 1 Specimen 5g Specimen 5g Pre-culture Pre-culture (BPW/EEM) (BPW/EEM) Day Selective Enrichment Culture CDSL (TT/RV/SBG/SC) Day 3 Isolation Presume, presence of Salmonella (MLCB/DHL/XLD/Rambach) Isolation Day Presume, presence of Salmonella Confirmation/Identification Confirmation/Identification (Biochemical/Serological Tests) (Biochemical/Serological Tests)

5 Operating procedure of CDSL (1) Pre-culture Medium (BPW,EEM) Sample 5g Pre-incubation - hours at 35 Inoculate.1mL of Pre-culture solution on CDSL (approx. 1cm far from the edge of plate) SL

6 Operating procedure of CDSL () SL Drop 1mL of sterilized water at the opposite point where specimen dropped. Confirm water diffused all over the plate and turn over the plate capped. Incubate hours at 1-3. Interpretation

7 Test Principle and Features of Compact Dry SL Base medium: DHL agar Additives: Pigment / Magnesium chloride / Novobiocin / Other additives Test principle: 1) Medium alkalization that changes medium color from blue-purple to yellow by Salmonella s lysine decarboxylase ability. ) Colony color will be greening caused by decomposition of chromogenic substrate with specific enzyme on Salmonella. 3) Salmonella produces hydrogen (not all strains) sulfide which generate black colonies. ) Detect motility of Salmonella. Features: 1) CDSL detects Salmonella one day earlier than conventional culture methods. ) Isolated colonies on the plate can be fished for further identification tests. 3) Ready to use and portable plate which no need to special preparation.

8 Chicken (, hours incubation) Positive reaction Motility, Yellow sheet, Greening colony, Black colonies are generated by hydrogen sulfide. Negative reaction No color change Red Red purple

19 Comparison of Salmonella detection methods from Selective Enrichment Media by meat products (3) Comparison of Sensitivity, Specificity and Agreement between Compact Dry SL and Conventional method CDSL DIASALM CDSL vs DIASALM Sensitivity 3 / 3 x 1 = 1% Specificity / 6 x 1 = 9.3% Agreement 58 / 6 x 1 = 96.7% CDSL R V CDSL vs RV Broth Sensitivity 3 / 3 x 1 = 1% Specificity / 3 x 1 = 8% Agreement 5 / 6 x 1 = 9% CDSL T T CDSL vs Tetrathionate Broth Sensitivity 3 / 3 x 1 = 1% Specificity / 8 x 1 = 85.7% Agreement 56 / 6 x 1 = 93.3%

20 Conclusion All Salmonella samples are being positive on Compact Dry SL. Several high concentration of Proteus and Pseudomonas strains showed yellowed reaction, but other Gram negatives were negative or inhibited its growth. Sensitivity and specificity of CDSL were higher than conventional methods when detected Salmonella from meat products on the market. Preparation of medium is not necessary for CDSL and the presumption of test result may receive one day earlier than conventional enrichment culture methods that will be useful for food manufacturers.
