摘要 |
The present invention provides a method for specifically detecting pathogenic <i>Campylobacter</i> species in a complex sample. The target pathogenic <i>Campylobacter</i> species can be <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> or <i>Campylobacter coli</i>. The complex sample can be a food sample, water sample, or selectively enriched food matrix. The method of detection utilizes PCR amplification with, or without, an internal positive control, and appropriate primer pairs. Multiple species can be detected in the same reaction. The reagents necessary to perform the method can be supplied as a kit and/or in tablet form. |
