[Method] A pair of primers and a probe were designed based on published nucleotide sequence of invA gene encoding the invasion protein of Salmonella enterica. [ Result] The assay detects Salmonella specifically. The detection limit of the real-time PCR was 17 CFU/test （25 uL/test） for the positive strain. This method was effective to detect artificially contaminated pet food. [ Conclusion] The results showed that Taqman PCR assay was rapid and accurate for detection of Salmonella from infected pet food.展开更多
