چکیده
Two colored latex kits (the Wellcolex Colour Salmonella Test [WCT-Salmonella] and the Wellcolex Colour Shigella Test [WCT-Shigella]; Division Diagnostics, Laboratories Wellcome S.A., Paris, France), which allow identification of the most frequently encountered Salmonella serogroups and Shigella species, respectively, were evaluated. WCT-Salmonella and WCT-Shigella yielded sensitivities of 98.4 and 98%, respectively, and a specificity of 100% when they were tested on pure cultures received at a reference laboratory.

Evaluation of the Wellcolex Colour Salmonella Test for detection of Salmonella spp. in enrichment broths.
The Wellcolex Colour Salmonella Test was evaluated for detection of Salmonella spp. in enrichment broths of 1,010 stool samples. In 39 specimens, Salmonella spp. could be isolated from the selenite F broth (SF). Wellcolex agglutination indicative of the presence of Salmonella spp. was noted with the SF in 36 cases, 34 of which were in agreement with the subculture results. Therefore, relative t...

Background: Diarrhea with salmonella and shigella infections is one of the main causes of mortality in children less than 5 years. Determining the antibiotic resistance of these bacteria is one of the most important methods in the treatment of diarrhea. This study was performed to evaluate antibiotic resistance of Salmonella and Shigella pathogenic bacteria in children with acute diarrhea refer...

A multiplex PCR-based assay was developed for detection of Salmonella typhi and identification of other salmonella serotypes. Three primer-sets were selected from different genomic sequences, malo2-F/malo2-Ra primers from invasion gene, Parat-s/Parat-as as well as tyv-s/tyv-as primers from O-antigen gene cluster of the genus Salmonella. This method differentiated Salmonella spp., based on size ...
