  • Method for rapidly detecting quinolone-resistant Salmonella ssp. and the probes and primers utilized therein
    Publication number: 20070031889
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for rapidly detecting quinolone-resistant Salmonella spp. The invention also relates to the oligonucleotide primers and probes utilized in the method, which can differentiate mutant strains having one or two single point mutations in gyrA gene or single point mutation in parC gene from wild type strains, respectively. Said primers and probes can be effectively used for detection of nalidixic acid-resistant and/or ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella strains.
