A RAPID REAL-TIME NUCLEIC ACID BASED METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF SALMONELLA SPECIES

摘要

The present invention relates to a rapid and accurate method for the detection of Salmonella. The method has particular application for the detection of salmonella in foodstuffs, but also finds application in other areas such as medical and other diagnostics applications. The method involves a combined enrichment / real-time PCR method for the rapid detection of Salmonella on fresh meat based on the ssrA gene.
