Abstract
A PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique was used in this study for the detection of Salmonella sp. in 90 samples of mozzarella produced in Campani a region. This technique was compared with a traditional analytical procedu re to evaluate specificity and sensibility of the methods. Two samples resu lted contaminated with Salmonella sp., but only for one of them the implica ted strain was identified by the traditional procedure.
