Loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for the detection of Salmonella spp. in pig feces

Abstract

: Salmonella are causative agents of gastroenteritis and systemic disease in animals. The invA gene was selected as a target sequence of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for diagnosis of Salmonella infection. The detection limits for broth dilution, spiked feces and enrichment were 10 4
