Salmonella is one of the most common pathogens in our food. In order to reduce the number of outbreaks, national agencies test for salmonella throughout the entire supply chain. From the producer to the consumer, there is a monitoring program that complies with European and national legislation.
When the results of a salmonella test are positive, serotyping can determine the distinct variation, for example, Typhimurium, Enteritidis, or Infantis. There are more than 2,500 serotypes known thus far.
In certain cases, serotyping is required by law. For companies that are regularly confronted with salmonella contamination, it can be a useful instrument to help track down the source and research the root cause.
The GBA Group provides you with fast and reliable salmonella serotyping based on the differences in
the DNA sequence between the various salmonella serotypes.
By means of DNA sequencing, more than 300 types can be identified. This enables us to identify the salmonella serotypes that occur most frequently in food products.
Common carriers of salmonella are primarily poultry and pigs, so transmission generally occurs through contact with raw animal products, especially poultry, eggs, and pork. However, other food products such as spices (e.g. paprika and pepper), herbs, nuts, and oilseeds can also be contaminated with salmonella. The serotypes that are most commonly found on live poultry have been validated by ISO 16140-6. This way, we can also report results on live animals in accordance with the legal regulations applicable in various countries.
The GBA Group provides you with a solution that helps shed light on the salmonella contamination and improves traceability.
