Description
General description
Salmonella is a genus of Gram-negative, facultative anaerobe, motile bacillus composed of 2579 different serotypes. Salmonella is considered to be one of the most studied microorganisms as a worldwide foodborne pathogen and a major cause of gastrointestinal human infections.1 S. enterica is a subspecies of S. enterica, that includes 1531 serotypes, among them S. typhimurium and S. enteritidis, responsible for common human illness and thus focus of extensive research.1
Immunogen
Salmonella enterica serotype enteritidis LPS (Sigma CAT# L6011)
Application
The antibody may be used in various immunochemical techniques including Immunoblotting and ELISA.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis is known to be one of the most common causes of food-borne salmonellosis worldwide.2 Historically, S. Enteritidis shows susceptibility to most antibiotics, unlike more common serotypes, such as Salmonella enterica serotypes Typhimurium, Virchow, Newport, and Hadar, in which resistance to a wide range of antibiotics is common.3,4 A number of reports point on an increasing prevalence of nalidixic acid resistance among nontyphoidal Salmonella isolates, in particular S. Enteritidis.5,6,7
Monoclonal Anti-Salmonella enterica serotype enteritidis LPS antibody specifically recognizes LPS of Salmonella enterica and has no cross reactivity with Pseudomonas aeruginosa- LPS or with Porphyromonas gingivalis- LPS.
Physical form
Supplied as a solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative.
Preparation Note
For continuous use, store at 2-8°C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours. Protect from prolonged exposure to light.
