About this kit
Salmonella enterica is a gram-negative bacteria that causes the food-borne illness salmonellosis. PMA-based viability PCR for S. enterica has been reported using the primers provided in the kit. In addition, these primers have been validated at Biotium for real-time qPCR using Forget-Me-Not™ EvaGreen® qPCR Master Mix.
