Real-time reverse-transcriptase PCR for Salmonella Typhimurium detection from lettuce and tomatoes
2011-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Salmonella outbreaks linked to fresh produce stress the importance of rapid detection methods to help prevent disease. Real-time reverse-transcriptase-PCR (rt-RT-PCR) is based on the detection of mRNA (shorter half-life than DNA), showing promise of detecting viable pathogens while eliminating the need for gel electrophoresis. The research is aimed at applying rt-T-PCR to detect Salmonella from spiked lettuce and...
