Environmental monitoring of waterborne Campylobacter: evaluation of the Australian Standard and a hybrid extraction-free MPN-PCR method.

Environmental monitoring of waterborne Campylobacter: evaluation of the Australian Standard and a hybrid extraction-free MPN-PCR method.

Campylobacter is the leading agent of diarrheal disease worldwide. This study evaluates a novel culture-PCR hybrid (MPN-PCR) assay for the rapid enumeration of Campylobacter spp. from estuarine and wastewater systems. To first evaluate the current, culture-based, Australian standard, an inter-labora...
