The invention relates to microbiology and molecular diagnostics. More specifically, the invention relates to the specific and sensitive detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) in clinical samples. Provided is an NG-specific oligonucleotide, comprising a nucleotide sequence 5'-TTTGAACC-3', or its complement, capable of hybridising to the 5'-untranslated region of an opa-gene of NG or its complement. Also provided is a method for detecting an NG strain comprising the use of an oligonucleotide primer or probe according to the invention, wherein said method preferably comprises nucleic acid amplification, and a kit for use in such a method.
