PCR PRIMER SET FOR BACTERIAL DNA AMPLIFICATION, KIT FOR DETECTING AND/OR IDENTIFYING BACTERIAL SPECIES, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND/OR IDENTIFYING BACTERIAL SPECIES

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a primer set useful for further improving sensitivity in the detection or identification of bacterial species in a specimen by PCR and a PCR set and method for detecting or identifying bacterial species in a specimen using the same, and to achieve further improvement of sensitivity in the detection or identification of bacterial species in a specimen by minimizing contamination by nucleic acids from bacteria and conducting PCR using this primer set. To achieve these goals, the PCR primer set for bacterial DNA amplification according to the present invention includes at least one primer pair from among seven primer pairs obtained by selecting one primer pair from each of groups S1 through S7 comprising specific primer pairs. The kit for bacterial species detection according to the present invention also includes at least one primer pair from among seven primer pairs obtained by selecting one primer pair from each of groups K1 through K7 comprising specific primer pairs.
