Sensitivity of selected target genes with PCR and RT-PCR.
Brucella culture with defined concentration was heat denatured and serially diluted. Serially diluted cultures were subjected to detection by PCR and RT-PCR with primers for BMEI0567 (a), BMEI1305 (b), BMEII0503 (c) and BMEI0363 (d). Sensitivity of RT-PCR was consistently higher than that of PCR.
