IN-PROCESS METHOD FOR GUIDING MEASURES AGAINST THE PROPAGATION OF SALMONELLA AND/OR AGAINST THE PROPAGATION OF CAMPYLOBACTER IN AN ANIMAL FLOCK

摘要

The present invention relates to an in vitro method for guiding measures against the propagation of Salmonella and/or against the propagation Campylobacter in an animal flock,the method comprising i.) determining the amount of at least one marker gene being specific for Salmonella or Campylobacter in a test sample and ii.) comparing the amount of said at least one marker gene being specific for Salmonella or Campylobacter determined in the test sample with a control sample, wherein an increase in the amount of said at least one marker gene being specific for Salmonella or Campylobacter in the test sample vs. the control sample by at least a factor of two, indicates the necessity of initiating or enhancing measures against the propagation of Salmonella and/or against the propagation Campylobacter.
