Salmonella enterica Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard
To be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard for Salmonella enterica .
Overview
- Quantified standard to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard
- Vigorously quantified using multiple methods
Salmonella enterica has emerged as a significant foodborne pathogen that poses a serious public health problem. The symptoms of salmonellosis may include diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal cramps with elderly, new-born, and immunocompromised individuals the most susceptible. S. enterica is a facultatively anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium that could survive low temperatures and freezing. The majority of the 1.3 billion annual cases of Salmonella-caused human gastroenteritis result from ingestion of contaminated food products, such as raw or undercooked meat, seafood, and eggs, as well as raw or unpasteurized milk and dairy products. Salmonella infections are also contracted following consumption of fresh fruits or vegetables that have been contaminated by infected fertilizer.
Norgen’s Salmonella enterica Quantified Bacterial DNA Standard is prepared from cultured bacteria using Norgen’s sample preparation technology. The purified DNA is quantified vigorously using multiple methods including spectrophotometry, gel densitometry and real-time PCR. It is intended to be used as a positive control or PCR quantification standard for Salmonella enterica.
