Primers, probes and kits for the detection of bacterial species belonging to the genus rickettsia

摘要

The present invention refers to the detection and identification of different bacterial species, all of which cause zoonosis, based on DNA analysis. More specifically, the invention provides the primers, probes, genes and genic regions, in particular the 23S-5S ribosomal spacer region, required to apply a method for the simultaneous detection of bacteria and bacterial groups belonging to the genera Rickettsia based on Multiple PCR analysis by RLB (Reverse Line Blotting), in addition to providing a kit to carry out said analysis.
