Establishment of a duplex real-time qPCR method for detection of Salmonella spp. and Serratia fonticola in fishmeal

• Christopher Miller

Salmonella spp. is a high-risk bacterial pathogen that’s monitored in imported animal-derived feedstuffs. Serratia fonticola is the bacterial species most often confused with Salmonella spp. in conventional identification strategies primarily based on biochemical traits, that are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and thus unsuitable for each day inspection and quarantine work. On this examine, we established a…
