Background• Normally, Salmonella detection from food sample is processed
these following steps, Pre-culture, Selective enrichment culture, Isolation and Confirmation/Identification. There are strong customer demands to improve the test procedure for more simple and rapid one, if it could have an equivalent result.
• We develop simple and easy medium for Salmonella detection (Compact Dry SL, hereinafter CDSL) that detects Salmonella by combination of biochemical reaction, specific enzyme reaction and detection of motility of Salmonella. CDSL is screening method for detecting Salmonella which inoculate pre-culture sample as a specimen.
• Herewith we report CDSL evaluation results compared with conventional culture methods using meats on the market,① growth and color forming used by pure culture strains ② recovery of Salmonella from food materials③ comparison (sensitivity/specificity/agreement) between conventional method and CDSL

Operating procedure of CDSL (2)
Test Principle and Features of Compact Dry SL• Base medium: DHL agar• Additives:
Pigment / Magnesium chloride / Novobiocin / Other additives• Test principle:
1) Medium alkalization that changes medium color from blue-purple to yellow by Salmonella’s lysine decarboxylase ability.
2) Colony color will be greening caused by decomposition of chromogenic substrate with specific enzyme on Salmonella.
3) Salmonella produces hydrogen (not all strains) sulfide which generate black colonies.
4) Detect motility of Salmonella.• Features:
1) CDSL detects Salmonella one day earlier than conventional culture methods.
2) Isolated colonies on the plate can be fished for further identification tests.
3) Ready to use and portable plate which no need to special preparation.
Positive reactionMotility, Yellow sheet, Greening colony,
Black colonies are generated by hydrogen sulfide.
Negative reactionNo color changeRed – Red purple

Conclusion
• All Salmonella samples are being positive on Compact Dry SL. Several high concentration of Proteus and Pseudomonas strains showed “yellowed” reaction, but other Gram negatives were negative or inhibited its growth.
• Sensitivity and specificity of CDSL were higher than conventional methods when detected Salmonellafrom meat products on the market.
• Preparation of medium is not necessary for CDSL and the presumption of test result may receive one day earlier than conventional enrichment culture methods that will be useful for food manufacturers.
