COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION OF PROPIONIBACTERIUM ACNES NUCLEIC ACID

摘要

Methods for amplifying and detecting Propionibacterium acnes nucleic acid by targeting specific sequences in 16S rRNA, 23S rRNA, or DNA encoding 16S rRNA or 23S rRNA are disclosed. Nucleic acid oligonucleotide sequence compositions specific for P. acnes nucleic acid sequences in 16S or 23S rRNA or DNA encoding 16S or 23S rRNA sequences are disclosed, which are useful for amplification oligonucletides, capture probes in sample preparation, and probes for detection of P. acnes nucleic acid sequences.
