Abstract
Organisms of the genus Salmonella are detected in eggs and egg products within 24 hr in the presence of Pseudomonadaceae and other Enterobacteriaceae by combining selective cultural methods with fluorescent-antibody techniques. These techniques are specific for Salmonella when H antibodies are used. Absorption techniques are necessary before the O antibodies give specific reactions for Salmonella. No cross-reactions appear when H antiserum is used. Absorption and interference techniques indicate the test is specific for Salmonella.
