Multiple internal controls enhance reliability for PCR and real time PCR detection of Rathayibacter toxicus

Abstract Rathayibacter toxicus is a toxigenic bacterial plant pathogen indigenous to Australia and South Africa. A threat to livestock industries globally, the bacterium was designated a U.S. Select Agent. Biosecurity and phytosanitary concerns arise due to the international trade of seed and hay th...
