Result of real-time quantitative PCR-hly assay. Plot of the individual CT values from a four-time repetition assay against the input target quantity of L. monocytogenes EGD-e expressed in log10 CFU/ml (common log scale) showing the linearity of the quantification over a range of seven logs from dilutions of 1 × 100 to 1 × 107 CFU/ml. The computer calculated correlation coefficient is 0.995.
