Comparison of PCR, electrochemical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and the standard culture method for detecting Salmonella in meat products
Article Abstract:
Two rapid techniques for detection of salmonella are evaluated. The standard culture method for detection of salmonella in food is rather sensitive and quite inexpensive, but it requires 4-5 days to generate results.
