Seventy-six fecal samples were analyzed using PCR associated with selenite cystine (SC) and Muller-Kauffmann tetrathionate (TMK) broths and standard microbiological techniques. Regardless of the selective enrichment broth used, the standard microbiological techniques were significantly better than PCR in detection of positive samples of Salmonella Dublin. However, the simultaneous use of both techniques provided detection of a larger number of positive samples. The SC broth was the best option as selective enrichment in both techniques.752-756porCalvesfecesSalmonella DublinPCRcultureAvaliação da reação em cadeia da polimerase e do isolamento bacteriológico convencional na detecção de Salmonella Dublin em amostras de fezes de bezerros infectados experimentalmenteEvaluation of polymerase chain reaction and standard microbiological techniques for detection of Salmonella Dublin in fecal samples of infected calvesArtigo10.1590/S0102-09352010000300035S0102-09352010000300035WOS:000283991200035Acesso abertoS0102-09352010000300035.pdf7179273060624761
