PCR Test Method to Detect Salmonella

About This Course

Salmonella is a genus of bacteria that can cause foodborne illness in humans and animals. It is commonly found in raw or undercooked meats, eggs, dairy products, and contaminated produce. Detecting Salmonella quickly and accurately is crucial for food safety and public health.

Advantages of PCR for Salmonella Detection

  • Speed: PCR can provide results within hours, much faster than traditional culture methods which can take days.
  • Sensitivity: PCR can detect very low levels of Salmonella, making it effective even in samples with low bacterial counts.
  • Specificity: The use of specific primers ensures that only Salmonella DNA is amplified, reducing the chance of false positives.

 

The program consists of 4 intensive training days, with interactive workshops, exchange of experiences, and role-playing activities, and each day lasts for 6 hours. The program is conducted at the companies’ and factories’ premises, as well as other organizations, after reaching a special agreement and arrangement in advance it is also available remotely online
