Evaluation of PMA‐qPCR methodology to detect and quantify viable Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli in beef burgers
2021-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Propidium monoazide (PMA) is a selective nucleic acid intercalating dye that can be combined with real‐time PCR (qPCR) in order to evaluate cell viability in food samples. The aim of the present work was to evaluate PMA‐qPCR to detect and quantify viable STEC cells in beef burgers using stx₂ as target gene. First, it was determined that 100 µM of PMA could inhibit qPCR signal from non‐viable cells and had no influ...
