NUCLEIC ACIDS AND METHODS FOR THE DETECTION OF STREPTOCOCCUS

摘要

The highly conserved gene encoding the catalytic subunit of proton-translocating ATPase is used to generate a sequence repertory or bank and species-specific, genus-specific, family-specific, group-specific and universal nucleic acid probes and amplification primers to rapidly detect and identify algal, archaeal, bacterial, fungal and parasitical microorganisms from specimens for diagnosis. The detection of associated antimicrobial agents resistance and toxin genes are also under the scope of the present invention.
