Overview
Bio-Rad offers a complete product line of antisera for the serotyping of pathogenic Salmonella species. Salmonella species are serotyped according to their O (somatic) antigens, Vi (capsular) antigens, and H (flagellar) antigens. The antigenic formula of Salmonella serotypes are listed in the Kauffman-White scheme and are expressed as follows: O antigens; Vi when present; H antigens phase 1; H antigens phase 2 (when present).
Features and Benefits of Salmonella Phase Inversion/Sven Gard Method Antisera
- Immediate serotyping of Salmonella after isolation
- Agglutination results in 1–10 seconds with 1 drop of antiserum
- Determination of second-phase H antigens in a diphasic culture after phase inversion (Sven Gard method)
Applications and Uses of Salmonella Antisera
- Identification of Salmonella serotypes after enrichment on a nonselective agar medium
- Polyvalent and monovalent antisera can be used in succession to identify Salmonella serovars
