EVALUATION OF THE GENE-UP® SALMONELLA (SLM) ASSAY

Infection with nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteria is a leading cause of foodborne deaths and hospitalizations in the United States each year. Salmonella outbreaks associated with ground beef have persisted and in fact several recent large outbreaks have heightened the ongoing concerns of its safety. The bioMérieux GENE-UP® Salmonella (SLM) Kit is a real-time PCR Assay capable of detecting low levels of Salmonella even in the presence of high background products such as ground beef.
