When artificially contaminated prawn samples were tested, S. paratyphi A contamination could be identified correctly within 20 h. No false positives from samples artificially contaminated by other microorganisms were obtained. The sensitivity was such that as few as 1 S. paratyphi A organism per g of raw prawn could be detected. Therefore, the assay constituted a promising test for the rapid and specific detection of S. paratyphi A in prawns.Mahidol UniversityAgricultural and Biological SciencesBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyEnvironmental ScienceImmunology and MicrobiologyArticleSCOPUS
