Novel multiplex PCR assays for rapid identification of Salmonella serogroups B, C1, C2, D, E, S. enteritidis, and S. typhimurium

Pan-genome analysis identified genes specific to Salmonella serogroups B, C1, C2, D, E, and S. enteritidis . Three multiplex PCR assays for detecting five Salmonella serogroups (B, C1, C2, D, and E) and two serovars ( S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium ) were sufficiently specific and rapid.
