Real-time PCR detection of Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods: a comparison between the biomolecolar method and traditional microbiology
Abstract:Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the presence of Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods by comparing the performance and sensitivity of BIO-RAD commercial Kits based on real-time PCR detection with traditional culture (ISO) procedures. Materials and methods: Sixty-five samples of ready-to-eat foods were analysed as described above. In order to verify the validity of both culture and biomolecolar methods and to compare the sensitivity of real-time PCR versus conve… Show more
