Abstract excerpt
RAPD PCR is a sensitive and reliable approach useful for the detection of DNA lesions due to environmental contaminants. In addition, this method is cost-effective, and can be performed in any laboratory having a DNA thermocycler and gel electrophoresis system. Here, we describe its application to identify genotoxin-induced DNA damage in foodborne bacteria. DNA alterations are detected through the analysis of...
