Genus-specific detection of salmonellae using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Oligonucleotide primers for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that enable genus-specific detection of members of the genus Salmonella were developed. The primers amplify a 496-bp genetic sequence of members of the genus Salmonella. Amplification of DNA extracted from all other genera of the family Enterobacteriaceae and various other gram-positive aerobic and anaerobic bacteria yielded negative results. Applications of the PCR using these genus-specific primers are discussed.
