Application Of A 16s Rrna Pcr-High-Resolution Melt Analysis Assay For Rapid Detection Of Salmonella Bacteremia

Current culture and phenotypic protocols for diagnosing Salmonella infections can be time-consuming. Here, we describe the application of a 16S rRNA PCR coupled to high-resolution melt analysis (HRMA) for species and serotype identification within 6 h of blood sample collection from a patient with Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis bacteremia.
