HYBRIDIZATION PROBES WHICH SPECIFICALLY DETECT STRAINS OF THE GENERA MICROBISPORA, MICROTETRASPORA, NONOMURIA AND PLANOBISPORA

摘要

A method is provided herein which allows for the specific detection of bateria from the genera Microbispora, Microtetraspora, Nonomuria and Planobispora. This method makes use of four specific nucleic acid probes also provided herein that are complementary to a conserved region of the 16S rRNA genes present within said strains. The probes permit rapid detection of the strains in an accurate and reproducible fashion.
