ELISA

Parallel wells of ELISA plates (Linbro) containing 200 µL colonisation factor (CF) broth8 were inoculated with the test strains and incubated at 30 °C or 37 °C for 48 h. The curli positive S. enteritidis strain and its curli negative derivative were included in all plates as positive and negative controls. The ELISA reaction was carried out as described9 using a polyclonal antibody raised against the curli (SEF17) of S. enteritidis 276553b2. The reaction was considered positive (i.e. th
