Methinks that what could be a great product would be a simple (that 
virtually anyone can successfully do), cheap test for detecting these 
organisms in processing plants, and other areas where presence of these 
organisms may be public health hazards.

I am aware of a company in the US which claims a species-specific DNA 
probe for all Salmonellae (*I've not seen the data). The company doesn't 
have the expertise to develop a good simple test using its probe. I hear 
they are looking to license it to whomever will develop it into a test kit.
