Abstract :The purpose of this review paper is to describe improved test methods for estimating the extent of Salmonella contamination on an egg, in order to assist in the control and elimination of this food infection hazard. Salmonella a member of the bacterial family Enterobacteriaceae may be recovered from foods and processing facilities. Salmonella has been recognized as an important zoonotic pathogen of economic significance in animals and humans. The egg’s contents are an ideal growth medium for microorganisms that are hazardous to humans. A variety of methods has been developed in order to expedite the detection of Salmonella in eggs, including Gene Quence DNA hybridization, PCR analysis, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In addition, brilliant green agar found to support more growth of all the types of studied Salmonella , while bismuth sulphite act as inhibitory to S. typhimurium, S. anatis, S. Worthington and S. oranienburg. In each mentioned article of this review, different methods are used for detection of Salmonella on an egg.Keywords : Salmonella, egg, PCR, DNA microarray, agar
