摘要: In recent years, increasing numbers of human campylobacteriosis cases caused by contaminated water have been reported. As the culture-based detection Campylobacter is time consuming and can yield false-negative results, suitability a quantitative real-time PCR method in combination with an ethidium monoazide pretreatment samples (EMA-qPCR) for rapid, viable cells from was investigated. EMA-qPCR has shown to be promising rapid spp. food samples. Application membrane filtration centrifugation, two methods frequently used isolation bacteria water, revealed mean loss up 1.08 log10 cells/ml spiked Both alone lead dead accumulation sample as fluorescence microscopy. After samples, no significant differences could detected subsequent qPCR experiments without EMA compared enumeration. High correlations (R 2 50.942 EMA, R 50.893 EMA) were
