Description
Summary:We selected from a landscape phage library probes that bind preferentially Salmonella typhimurium cells compared with other Enterobacteriaceae. The specificity of the phage probes for Salmonella typhimurium was analyzed by the phage-capture test, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the precipitation test. Interaction of representative probes with Salmonella typhimurium was characterized by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and fluorescent, optical and electron microscopy. The results show that the landscape phage library is a rich source of highly specific and robust probes for Salmonella typhimurium suitable for long-term use in continuous monitoring devices and biosorbents.
