Claim 0:
1. A method of selectively detecting the presence of Salmonella typhimurium in a sample comprising nucleic acids, the method comprising:
(a) providing a reaction mixture comprising (i) a suitable primer pair for amplification of an amplicon polynucleotide, which amplicon polynucleotide consists of a nucleic acid at least 95% homologous to SEQ ID NO:3 and (ii) the nucleic acids of the sample;
(b) performing PCR amplification of the nucleic acids of the sample using the reaction mixture of step (a) to form the amplicon polynucleotide primed by the primer pair; and
(c) selectively detecting the presence of Salmonella typhimurium by detecting the amplicon polynucleotide.
