METHODS FOR THE DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF EXTENDED SPECTRUM BETA LACTAMASES

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to compositions for the detection and/or identification of microbes that carry extended spectrum beta-lactamase genes. Specifically, provided herein are oligonucleotides, probes, and kits containing the same, for the detection of bacterial CTX-M sequences. Also provided are methods for the detection and/or amplification of microbes harboring extended spectrum beta-lactamase genes, including CTX-M type extended spectrum beta-lactamase genes.
