Nucleic Acid Fragments and Specific Detection Method By Molecular Identification of Different Bacteria Species of the Genus Acinetobacter

摘要

The present invention relates to complete rpoB genes, rpoB gene fragments SEQ. ID. no 9 to 32 and fragments of hypervariable sequences of said rpoB genes SEQ. ID. no 33 to 56 and 77 to 100, and to nucleic acid fragments of non-coding hypervariable sequences flanking the rpoB gene of sequences SEQ. ID. no 121 to 144 and 165 to 188, and also to oligonucleotides of species-specific sequences taken from said fragments of hypervariable sequences and to consensus oligonucleotides between the different species of Acinetobacter bacteria of sequences SEQ. ID. no 1 to 8 for the following 24 species: A. calcoaceticus (genomic species 1), A. baumannii (genomic species 2), genomic species 3, A. haemolyticus (genomic species 4), A. junii (genomic species 5), genomic species 6, A. johnsonii (genomic species 7), A. lwoffii (genomic species 8), genomic species 9, genomic species 10, genomic species 11, A. radioresistens (genomic species 12), genomic species 13, genomic species 16, A. schindleri, A. ursingii, A. baylyi, A. bouvetii, A. gerneri, A. grimontii, A. tandoii, A. tjernbergiae, A. towneri, A. parvus. A further subject of the present invention is the use of said oligonucleotides, said gene fragments or said complete rpoB genes in a detection method by molecular identification to detect said species of Acinetobacter bacteria.
