摘要
A modification to the enzyme amplification system described by Self (1984), has been developed in which the addition of semicarbazide hydrochloride increased the sensitivity of detection of protein A-bearing Staphylococcus aureus in foods from 4-6 x 10(3) to 20 colony forming units (c.f.u.) g-1 or ml-1. This may be due to the removal of acetaldehyde produced as a by-product of the amplification cycle thereby permitting further cycling to proceed.
