Microorganisms, Vol. 7, Pages 230: Contrast of Real-Time Fluorescent PCR Methods for Detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and of Introducing an Internal Amplification Control

Microorganisms, Vol. 7, Pages 230: Contrast of Real-Time Fluorescent PCR Methods for Detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and of Introducing an Internal Amplification Control Microorganisms doi: 10.3390/microorganisms7080230 Authors: Zhao Xia Liu Various constituents in food specimens can inhibit the PCR assay and lead to false-negative results. An internal amplification control was employed to monitor the presence of false-negative results in PCR amplification. In this study,...
