Summary
Background: The increasing prevalence of foodborne human salmonellosis caused by Salmonella Enteritidis is a major foodborne illness throughout the world. Prevention from Salmonella infection is more important in an effective ongoing screening program. The slide agglutination test could be more widely used in developing countries to obtain local and regional data due to its rapid, valid, and relatively cheap and ease application. The main purpose of this study is to characterize Salmonella Enteritidis O and H specific polyclonal antibodies for the detection of Salmonella Enteritidis in field samples by comparing with different species of Salmonella field samples isolated from Aegean Region.
