    A Quantification mode of real-time PCR. Two Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis samples in our laboratory (*) were amplified at around 10 cycles. The amplification of the clinical sample DNA occurred at 16 cycles. (B) The pyrogram of the case. This pyrogram is read as follows, “CTCACAGTTC……”. This sequence was categorized as Salmonella enterica according to BLAST.
