Impact of <i>invA</i>‐PCR and Culture Detection Methods on Occurrence and Survival of <i>Salmonella</i> in the Flesh, Internal Organs and Lymphoid Tissues of Experimentally Infected Pigs

Abstract excerpt

This study evaluated the suitability of invA gene amplification by PCR as an effective means of detecting Salmonella species in pigs experimentally infected with S. Typhimurium DT104. A controlled infection study using 24 pigs was performed in order to compare efficacy, precision and detection rates of the invA-based PCR method originally described by Rahn, K. De Grandis, S.A., Clarke, R.C., McEwan, S.A., Galan,...
