Most starter cultures contain closely related species. Nowadays, high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis is extensively used for multiplex identification of closely related species. In the present paper, we applied real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with HRM analysis for the detection and differentiation of Lactobacillus sakei and L. curvatus. A primer pair was selected for the site of the rpoA gene of Lactobacillus spp. Eleven starter cultures and fifteen fermented sausages with a known bacterial composition were successfully tested using real-time PCR with HRM analysis with the developed primer pair %K real-time PCR %K HRM %K starter cultures %K fermented sausages %K Lactobacillus sakei %K Lactobacillus curvatus %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=319530
