Additional Information
Salmonella isolates can be serogrouped at ADDL, then sent to NVSL for serotyping.
Starting July 1, 2023, clients must select how positive Salmonella cultures will be further handled - Serogrouping and/or Serotyping. At least one option must be chosen.
Serogrouping will list the Group of Salmonella for that isolate. This test is performed at ADDL and costs
$24.00. Results are completed within 2-5 business days.
Serotyping is performed at NVSL for no charge. Serotyping provides the full identification of the Salmonella isolate. Serogrouping is not required if Serotyping is performed. Serotyping can take 4-8 weeks for results to be completed.
