Molecular detection of foodborne pathogens with emphasis on multiplex-allele-specific PCR, computational primer design, and gene amplification approaches.

Abstract excerpt

Foodborne diseases continue to be major public health challenges around the world, with contaminated food linked to an estimated 420,000 deaths annually, many of which are children under five. Traditional testing methods for foodborne pathogens (i.e., microbial culturing and biochemical assays), while generally reliable, are slow and labor-intensive and significantly limit their ability to protect the public from...
