Validation of a Rapid Visual Screening of Campylobacter jejuni in Chicken Using Antibody-Conjugated Fluorescent Dye-Doped Silica Nanoparticle Reporters

Table 3

Comparison of the proposed FDS-NPs assay for detection of C. jejuni in all samples () against the direct culture on mCCDA with duplex PCR assay as a reference method. TP: true positive; FP: false positive; TN: true negative; FN: false negative.

		Reference method; Direct culture on mCCDA/PCR assay
		Positive (+)	Negative (−)
Antibody-conjugated FDS-NP assay	Positive (+)	TP 111	FP 0
	Negative (−)	FN 6	TN 23
	Total	117	23
