    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with PCR-based detection methods and kits for the identification, differentiation, and quantification of different bacterial strains (e.g., Gram-negative bacterial strains), and also association of two or more PCR-positive genes to a single genome. The methods generally comprise carrying out PCR reactions using at least a first PCR primer set and/or probe for at least one target nucleic acid; and a second PCR primer set and/or probe for at least a second target nucleic acid. Positive PCR reaction products are then detected to determine test samples containing positive PCR reaction products for both the first and second target nucleic acids. This information can be used to calculate the gene association rate to determine whether the sample contains, for example, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli of the O-type serogroup.

    Abstract: A process of forming a gelatin-based animal treat is provided. The process comprises forming a composition comprising a gelatin component, a carbohydrate material, and an aqueous liquid. The compositions comprising the animal treat general have less than about 1% by weight of acidulants and a pH from about 5.5 to about 8.0. Once the composition is introduced into a product mold, it is allowed to cool and harden into the gelatin-based treat product. Thus, the animal treats are cold-setting and do not require additional heating, cooking, or baking to form the final product. Optionally, the animal treat can be used as a carrier to deliver a pharmaceutical or nutraceutical compound to the animal through ingestion.
