Limit of detection of <i>Salmonella</i> ser. Enteritidis using culture-based versus culture-independent diagnostic approaches
The appeal of culture-independent diagnostic tests (CIDTs) is increased speed with lowered cost, as well as the potential to detect multiple pathogen species in a single analysis and to monitor other areas of concern such as antimicrobial resistance genes or virulence factors. This study provides quantitative data on the sensitivity of CIDTs relative to current approaches, which is essential for determining the feasibility of implementing these methods in pathogen surveillance programs.
