title = "Rapid discrimination of psychrotolerant and mesophilic strains of the Bacillus cereus group by PCR targeting of 16S rDNA",
abstract = "The paper describes a novel PCR assay for discriminating psychrotolerant and mesophilic strains of the Bacillus cereus group by targeting of 16S rDNA signatures. Application of the assay circumvents long-term growth tests at low temperature currently used to detect psychrotolerant strains. PCR was performed with pure cultures. A 100% correlation of PCR and growth data at 7°C was obtained for the 194 B. cereus group strains tested. Potential applications of the assay for the dairy industry and agriculture are suggested.
