Received 20 February 2004/ Returned for modification 30 March 2004/ Accepted 2 June 2004

The LOUIS test is a screening protocol for Salmonella and Shigella that uses rapid enzyme tests. It had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 94% and achieved presumptive reporting of Salmonella 3 h after colony isolation with savings of time and money compared to commercial identification systems.
