COMPOSITIONS, METHODS AND KITS FOR DETERMINING THE PRESENCE OF MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE AND/OR MYCOPLASMA GENITALIUM IN A TEST SAMPLE

摘要

The present invention relates to oligonucleotides and useful for determining the presence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and/or Mycoplasma genitalium in a test sample. The oligonucleotides of the present invention may be incorporated into hybridization assay probes, capture probes and amplification primers, and used in various combinations thereof. Figure 3 depicts a graph used to determine the differential hydrolysis ratio of a probe according to the invention.
