Chip-based digital PCR for direct quantification dynamic bacterial load in target organs of tilapia infected with Streptococcus agalactiae, a pathogen causing meningoencephalitis in teleosts
To detection of pathogens DNA is considered a promising strategy in sick fish. The current standard for enumeration of pathogens to obtain colony forming units by plate counts has several drawbacks: long time to results, high variability. While qPCR can target genetic identity, its limitations requi...
