Abstract:
Described are compositions, methods and kits for detection and/or differential detection of serovars of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar such as S. Heidelberg and S. Hadar in samples. Some embodiments relate to multiplex amplification based molecular assays.
Abstract:
The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to compositions and methods for detection of multiple target nucleic acid sequences by a single nucleic acid amplification based assay (e.g. PCR). Compositions comprising two or more primers are described for multiple target nucleic acid detection. Methods for differential detection of microorganisms (including strains/serovars/subtypes thereof) and cell types comprise a single step method to detect a signature of target nucleic acid sequences comprising: two, three or more target nucleic acids that are uniquely present in a microorganism/strain/serovar/subtype and/or cell and absent in other closely related organisms/cells. Embodiments relate to methods of diagnosis of diseases or conditions that can be detected by detecting the presence of two or more nucleic acid target markers.
