Salmonella Antibody

General Info:

Description:

The antibody detection test for Salmonella is employed to identify Salmonella infections. Salmonella is gram-negative, motile, nonsporulating bacteria with straight rod shapes, which can lead to nontyphoidal enterocolitis, nontyphoidal focal diseases, or typhoid (enteric) fever. This test assesses agglutinating antibodies against the flagellar (H), lipopolysaccharide (O) antigens, Paratyphi AH and BH. Healthcare providers utilize this test to confirm Salmonella infections, particularly in regions with prevalent typhoid fever.
