Abstract
⺠Real-time PCR (qPCR) assays cannot distinguish between DNA from dead and live cells. ⺠DNA binding molecules allow specific detection of viable cells. ⺠PMA-qPCR was able to specifically detect viable cells in pure cultures and food samples. ⺠Power ultrasound has been successfully applied for microbial decontamination. ⺠PMA-qPCR results correlate precisely with plate counts of ultrasound treated water samples.
