Comparison between Whatman FTA Elute Cards and Conventional Swab for the Detection of Pathogenic Enteric Bacteria Using an RT-qPCR Assay

The emergence of outbreaks of foodborne sickness is carefully related to meals contamination attributable to varied enteric pathogens, resembling Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis, and Staphylococcus aureus. The management of enteric pathogens poses a problem attributable to the truth that these pathogens can persist for an extended time frame within the surroundings. The fast detection of pathogenic…

Development of real-time RT-qPCR assays for the typing of two novel bluetongue virus genotypes derived from sheeppox vaccine

Beforehand, we reported the detection of two novel bluetongue virus (BTV) strains (SPvvvv/02 and SPvvvv/03), presumably representing new BTV genotypes, in a batch of sheeppox vaccine. We developed type-specific RT-qPCR assays (concentrating on genome section 2) for these two new BTV strains. The restrict of detection of each assays was 10 genome copies/μl and no…
