MOLECULAR TYPING AND SUBTYPING OF SALMONELLA BY IDENTIFICATION OF THE VARIABLE NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES OF THE CRISPR LOCI

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for detecting and identifying bacteria of the Salmonella genus by identification of the variable nucleotide sequences contained in the CRISPR loci of these bacteria, and also to diagnostic reagents, such as oligonucleotide primers and probes, for molecular typing and subtyping of these bacteria.
