Repeatability of a Commercially Available ELISA Test for Determining the Herd-Level Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Dublin Status in Dairy Herds Using Bulk Milk.

ABSTRACT: An Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is currently available for detection of antibodies against Salmonella Dublin in bovine milk. However, when used in a surveillance program, samples may undergo various storage conditions. The objective of this study was to estimate the repeatability of an ELISA test when used on fresh and frozen samples. Each of 845 bulk milk collected samples was subdivided into 3 aliquots and analyzed using PrioCHECK™ Salmonella Ab Bovine Dublin. ELISA percent positivity results (PP%) were compared between aliquots submitted to the initial analysis and a second analysis conducted 24 h later. The third aliquots were either preserved for 13-14 days (n = 413) or 25-28 days (n = 432) at -20°C prior to analysis and results were compared t
