IMED chip-based detection and intraspecies strain discrimination of Salmonella serovars derived from whole blood of septic mice. IMED chips containing sensors for S. Typhimurium and S. Choleraesuis were loaded with LAMP reaction mixtures containing blood samples derived from septic mice infected with S. Typhimurium, S. Choleraesuis, or Y. pseudotuberculosis or from an uninfected mouse. The data points and error bars represent the means and standard deviations of measurements from three independently fabricated sensors/chips. Measurements of numbers of CFU/ml were determined by direct colony counting.
