Salmonella Risk Test

SALMONELLA SPP. DETECTION - STATUS QUO

Salmonella infections pose a significant health risk, often linked to contaminated food products, making the control of food production crucial. The microbial environment in food production is extensive and intricate, with certain bacterial groups like Enterobacteriaceae and Salmonella spp. often at the centre of food safety concerns. Although Salmonella spp. is rarely found in factory settings, appearing in only 2 to 8 out of every 1000 routinely tested samples, total Enterobacteriaceae (TEB) counts can be much higher.

Unfortunately, no clear data links TEB counts to Salmonella spp. in environmental samples, which has been a significant challenge for researchers and industry experts. The EU Scientific Panel highlighted this issue and concluded that it is currently impossible to establish a direct correlation between Enterobacteriaceae and Salmonella spp.

Needle in a haystack: only 1-4 out of 500 EM samples are positive for Salmonella spp

This low number may create a false sense of safety. Salmonella disease outbreaks are among the most common pathogens, partly due to the lack of quick, reliable prevention and rapid corrective action screening methods.

AYOPI Groups are at the Highest Risk

Pregnant women and newborns
Adults aged 65 and older
People with weakened immune systems

CDC estimates that Salmonella causes approximately 1.2 million illnesses and 450 deaths yearly in the US.

N-LIGHT^TM SALMONELLA TEST KIT - THE FIRST INDICATOR FOR SALMONELLA SPP.

N-Light™ Salmonella Risk is not designed to detect only Salmonella spp. Instead, it also targets a small selection of closely related bacteria (such as Citrobacter, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter) that share specific metabolic and genetic markers.

SALMONELLA RISK – INDICATOR TEST

Positive N-Light™ Salmonella Risk does not mean finding exclusively Salmonella spp. Instead, it highlights an elevated likelihood of contamination, allowing for timely interventions and corrective actions to ensure food production safety.

WE TRANSFORM HOW PATHOGEN TESTING AND SALMONELLA DETECTION ARE DONE

Environmental monitoring around food production is crucial to avoid pathogen contamination. NEMIS’ novel N-Light™ Salmonella Risk test kit is the first reliable method that enables lab-free testing and puts you as a food producer in control of your quality management process.

PIONEERING PHAGE TECHNOLOGY

The patented AquaSpark™ technology powers the N-Light™ tests. The light reaction emitted from highly sensitive chemiluminescent An enzyme specifically triggers molecules. All Salmonella serovars and closely related bacteria occupy the same environmental niche. The robustness of the test is further enhanced by NEMIS proprietary enrichment broth containing phages. Phages oare viruses which Kill competing microflora but are harmless or even beneficial to humans. Test results above the detection threshold indicate an increased risk for the presence of Salmonella pathogen.
