Rapid Detection of Salmonella spp. by Using Felix-O1 Bacteriophage and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Dwight C Hirsh 1, Lori D Martin 1
PMCID: PMC242263  PMID: 6337550

Abstract

A method is described whereby the presence of Salmonella spp. can be detected within 8 to 24 h of sample collection. The method depends upon the interaction of Salmonella spp. with the Salmonella-specific Felix-O1 bacteriophage. This interaction results in an increase in concentration of the bacteriophage which is detected by high-performance liquid chromatographic techniques.
