Peptic nucleic acid probes for analysis of Enterococcus faecium

摘要

Disclosed are PNA based probes that include a nucleobase sequence suitable for the analysis of Enterococcus faecium. In one embodiment, the probe is complementary to a target sequence of Enterococcus faecium 23 rRNA or rDNA or its complement. The invention has a wide range of important applications including use to detect Enterococcus faecium in a biological sample.
