Abstract

Determine survival of Salmonella in soil, sediment and herbage by tracking DNA using specific PCR primers for the genus. Compare culturability with detection by DNA, direct viable counting and specific enrichments. Examine turnover of Salmonella DNA in soil and provide methods for PCR-detection in all sample types.
