Apparatus and methods for detecting a microbe in a sample

摘要

Apparatus for detecting one or more microbes in a sample includes a substrate having a plurality of microbe identification sites with nucleic acid probes disposed thereon, each nucleic acid probe having a nucleotide sequences that is complementary to nucleotide sequences of nucleic acids of one or more microbes. Nucleotide sequences for nucleic acid probes and the primers used to generate the probes are disclosed. Methods of detecting a microbe in a sample using nucleic acid probes are also disclosed.
