Fig. 3From: An improved assay for rapid detection of viable Staphylococcus aureus cells by incorporating surfactant and PMA treatments in qPCRDetection of viable S. aureus cells in spiked milk samples by the PMA-qPCR assay. All milk samples (1 ml) were mixed with 104 dead S. aureus cells, and then each sample was mixed with a different number of live S. aureus cells (102, 103, 104, 105, and 106 CFU/ml), respectively. Each concentration of cell was sampled in triplicateBack to article page
