METHOD FOR STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE DIAGNOSIS AND SEROTYPING

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for detecting a specific serotype of S. pneumoniae in a biological sample obtained from a subject, comprising the following steps: a) extracting S. pneumoniae DNA from the sample; b) incubating the extracted DNA under conditions such as to enable the amplification of at least one serotype specific target region comprised in the Cps gene cluster locus of S. pneumoniae and selected from the group of: SEQ ID No. 98 to 128, related kits.
