A PCR assay was developed for direct detection using a set of primers specific for the invasion by A gene (invA) of Salmonella spp. PCR detected the presence of Salmonella in 2 samples of shell egg from the evaporative cooling system, while conventional cultural methods detected no Salmonella from the same samples.}, journal = {International Journal of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {5}, year = {2010}, pages = {232 - 234}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/14309}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/41}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 41, 2010}, }
