OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PRIMER SEQUENCES FOR DETECTION OF LEPTOSPIRA

摘要

The present invention is directed towards providing oligonucleotide primer sequences for the detection of Leptospira species in biological and environmental samples. The oligonucleotide primer sequences of the present invention are capable of detecting DNA of Leptospira species in a given sample using molecular protocol for example a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The present invention also provides a method and a kit for detecting leptospiral DNA in a given sample with high specificity.
