Development of a polymerase chain reaction assay to detect enteric bacteria in ground beef
2004-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella and Citrobacter can potentially cause foodborne diseases if consumed in contaminated beef products. The purpose of this study was to establish a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to screen ground beef for these enteric bacteria. With the use of homologous phoP gene sequences as the target, a PCR yielded a 302-bp product from E. coli, Salmonella, Shig...
