Abstract
test would be performed on any black or green colonies found on either hektoen agar. Our lab has performed 810 Reveal tests on suspicious cultures from January 16, 2010 to December 31, 2011. There were 150 Reveal positive samples and 660 negative samples. There was 100% correlation (100% sensitivity and 100% specificity) of the Reveal test results to the BBL Crystal identification results. The Reveal test has been shown in our lab to save 24 hour to 48 hours in notifying the veterinarian of a positive Salmonella culture. Further studies are warranted with the Reveal test system on Selenite broths. If similar correlations are noted with the broths then Salmonella results may be able to be obtained in a 24 hour turnaround time.
