The annual U.S. market for testing of specific pathogenic organisms was estimated to encompass 15 million tests during 2000. In comparison to other rapid technologies (PCR and antibody-based assays) on the market requiring long enrichment (24-48h), the development of these assays will provide faster turnaround times from sampling to answer for the detection of Listeria, Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 pathogen presence or absence on food processing surfaces testing, in poultry wash and carcass swabs. These assays will have market potential to meat and food processing plants which average approximately 3,500 pathogen tests annually for each plant.
