A novel approach for detecting Salmonella enterica strains frequently attributed to human illness—development and validation of the highly pathogenic Salmonella (HPS) multiplex PCR... by Dayna M. Harhay, Kerry D. Brader, Tatum S. Katz, Gregory P. Harhay, James L. Bono, Joseph M. Bosilevac, Tommy L. Wheeler

“…The utility of the resulting HPS assay for identifying SoC was examined in silico, using BLAST to determine the distribution of gene targets among closed Salmonella genome sequences in GenBank (n = 2,192 representing 148 serotypes) and by assaying 1,303 Salmonella (69 serotypes), isolated from FSIS regulatory samples.Results and discussionComparison of serotypes identified by the assay as HPS, with those identified as SoC, produced an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 92.2% with a specificity of 96% and a positive predictive value of 97.4%, indicating the HPS assay has strong ability to identify SoC. …”
