Detection of pathogenic bacteria isolated from raw vegetables (ulam) / Izzafaiqaainaa Mohd Nor
Raw vegetables or ulam are one of essential diets of human being and become a side dish in a daily plate. But, all these salad vegetables might be contaminated with pathogenic bacteria that can caused food borne illness. Three different types of ulam were selected from two different retail outlet lo...

Raw vegetables or ulam are one of essential diets of human being and become a side dish in a daily plate. But, all these salad vegetables might be contaminated with pathogenic bacteria that can caused food borne illness.

Twenty one of bacteria isolated from ulam were further investigated by using, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay targeting 16s rDNA gene.
