摘要

A Salmonella-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed and standardized. The origin of the primers was a recombinant clone (C7) that contained Salmonella-specific HindIII fragment DNA of 2.1-kilobase pairs. Based on the sequence data of Salmonella enteritidis recombinant clone C7, two primers designated NK1 (21 nucleotides) and NK2 (24 nucleotides) were synthesized for use in the PCR. A Salmonella-specific 2.0-kilobase pair DNA product was amplified by the primers from 23 species of Salmonella, but not from 19 enteric and non-enteric bacteria. As little as 330 fg of Salmonella DNA was detected using either ethidium bromide/ultraviolet exposure of gels or Southern blot hybridization with a C7 clone.
