Real-Time Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Rapid Detection of <i>Salmonella</i> Using <i>inv</i> A Primers
28 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
Recent outbreaks of Salmonella linked to fresh produce emphasize the need for rapid detection methods to help control the spread of disease. Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) can detect the presence of mRNA (shorter half-life than DNA) with greater potential for detecting viable pathogens. The chromosomally located invA gene required for host invasion by Salmonella is widely used for...
