Abstract
Molecular techniques such as real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) have become a very effective alternative in food microbiology diagnostic for rapid and specific detection of foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella in foods and food-related environments. qPCR is a simple, sensitive, specific, and reproducible assay. Here, we describe the application of real-time PCR-based methods for a rapid (less than 24 h) detection of Salmonella in different types of foods fully compatible with the international standard for detection of Salmonella in food (ISO 6579-1:2017).
