>>>Qualicon a Dupont subsidiary makes a detection kit called the
BAX system that uses PCR to detect over 1800 different strains
of Salmonella. It works rather well and is considerably quicker
than standard biochemical testing. It is rather pricey at ~$400 / 50 samples
I am not an employee of Qualicon or Dupont just someone who
has used the kit and was satisfied. They also make
a similar kit for E. coli O157:H7 and Listeria.
