Number of invA mRNA copies in stationary phase cells

Value	0.004 copies/CFU
Organism	Bacteria Salmonella enterica
Reference	González-Escalona N, Hammack TS, Russell M, Jacobson AP, De Jesús AJ, Brown EW, Lampel KA. Detection of live Salmonella sp. cells in produce by a TaqMan-based quantitative reverse transcriptase real-time PCR targeting invA mRNA. Appl Environ Microbiol. 2009 Jun75(11):3714-20PubMed ID19376910
Method	DNA detection methods used for analysis of foods, are subject to the major concern of false-positive results from the detection of dead cells. To circumvent this crucial issue, a TaqMan quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) assay with an RNA internal control was developed.
