Resumen:
The Gram-positive bacterium Paenibacillus larvae is one of the major pathogens of Apis mellifera, causing the disease known as American foulbrood. Identification of P. larvae by microbiological methods can be difficult and time consuming. We report a real-time PCR assay that could be successfully used for rapid and specific detection of P. larvae DNA in bacterial pure cultures and directly from scale samples.
