SwiftDetect™: Revolutionizing Salmonella Dublin DetectionThe Need: In the dairy industry, combating Salmonella Dublin is crucial due to production losses and its impact on human health. Current detection methods, particularly culture-based techniques, are laborious, time-consuming, and lack sensitivity in environmental samples. As a result, treatment effective surveillance and epidemiological understanding is hindered. There's a clear need for a culture-independent technique to efficiently detect Salmonella Dublin from clinical and environmental samples to enabling prompt identification of affected animals, premises and transmission pathways. The Technology: Our solution involves the development of a multiplex endpoint polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the specific detection of Salmonella Dublin. This PCR method utilizes serovar-specific primers selected through rigorous assessments and provides high specificity and sensitivity. By targeting specific gene markers, our PCR technique offers a faster and more accurate means for the detection of Salmonella Dublin compared to traditional culture-based methods.
