Rapidly differentiate Salmonella spp. from other organisms exhibiting similar colonial appearance on common selective Salmonella media with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Biochemical Identification System (O.B.I.S.) Salmonella. This rapid colorimetric test delivers simple and rapid results for the presence of Salmonella spp., reducing the need for a full biochemical identification of suspect colonies.
Identification of Salmonella spp. relies on the lack of pyroglutamyl aminopeptidase (PYRase) and nitrophenylalanine deaminase (NPA) activity in Salmonella spp.
The genus Salmonella consists of over 2,400 serotypes that may cause acute infectious gastroenteritis frequently associated with food poisoning. Since many Salmonella species infect domestic animals, either clinically or subclinically, cases of Salmonella food poisoning usually originate from animal sources.
Use O.B.I.S. Salmonella to reduce the need for a full biochemical identification of suspect colonies on common selective Salmonella media.
- Simple—easy to implement
- Rapid—results in 6 minutes of testing suspect colonies
