    Author: Curiale MS, Gangar V, Gravens C.
    Journal: J AOAC Int; 1997; 80(3):491-504. PubMed ID: 9170649.
    Abstract:
    The VIDAS SLM method for detection of Salmonella was compared with the Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM)/AOAC culture method in a collaborative study. Twenty laboratories participated in the evaluation. Each laboratory tested one or more of 6 test products: milk chocolate, nonfat dry milk, dried whole egg, soy flour, ground black pepper, and ground raw turkey. No significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed between the 2 methods. The 2 methods were in agreement for 99% of 1544 samples analyzed. Of the 20 samples out of agreement, 8 were VIDAS SLM positive and BAM/AOAC negative, and 12 were VIDAS SLM negative and BAM/AOAC positive. The VIDAS SLM method for detection of Salmonella in foods has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.
