Quantitative detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in ground beef by the polymerase chain reaction incorporating immunomagnetic separation
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important foodborne pathogen. The majority of outbreaks of this organism have been attributed to ground beef. In order to improve the sensitivity for detection of E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sample preparation methods includin...
