An interlaboratory trial was conducted of a latex agglutination kit for the rapid identification of S. enteritidis, to assess the stability of the components and its performance with respect to a panel of three coded salmonellas and 243 field isolates. Two of the components of the kit deteriorated with time. All 62 isolates of S. enteritidis were correctly identified by the kit; only 2 false positives were recorded and no false negatives.
