Three new rapid methods for detection of Salmonella spp. have been studied. The fluorogenic MUCAP test (Biolife, Italy), the MicroScreenR latex slide agglutination test (Mercia, UK) and the Rambach agar test (Technogram, France) were compared for their sensitivity and their specificity. Some 175 strains, incuding 74 Salmonella strains and 101 non‐Salmonella strains were included in the study. The sensitivities of the MUCAP, the MicroScreenR and Rambach agar tests were 100%, 96% and 91%, respectively, and their specificities 80%, 96% and 100%, respectively.
