Food-borne Salmonellosis is a significant risk to public health. Despite wide variety of rapid
molecular methods, the detection of Salmonella still requires at least one enrichment …

Recent reports describe the ability of select bacterial strains to bind human norovirus,
although the specificity of such interactions is unknown. The purpose of this work was to …

Once feared as a deadly intracellular bacterium with the extraordinary capacity to survive a
wide array of arduous external stressors, Listeria monocytogenes is increasingly recognized …

Aim: To develop an easy, rapid and efficient DNA extraction procedure for Staphylococcus
