Hyperinvasive locus A gene-based electrochemical nanobiosensor for rapiddetection of Salmonella enterica in chicken eggshell matrices Open
Salmonella enterica can penetrate inside eggshells through horizontal transmission; thus, a rapid detection method on this matrix is needed. This study aimed to develop an electrochemical nanobiosensor prototype based on the hyperinvasive …
