Peptide nucleic acid probes for detection, identification and/or quantitation of Pseudomonas (sensu stricto)

摘要

Disclosed is a PNA probe that includes a nucleobase sequence suitable for the detection, identification and/or quantitation of Pseudomonas (sensu stricto). In one embodiment, the PNA probe is complementary to a target sequence of 23S rRNA or rDNA from all species of the genus Pseudomonas. The invention has a wide range of important uses including detecting Pseudomonas in a sample of interest.
