Nucleic acid probes to ureaplasma.

摘要

Hybridization assay probes are described which are able to distinguish Ureaplasma and known strains or serotypes of the species Ureaplasma urealyticum found in humans from other related organisms. These probes have a nucleic acid sequence capable of hybridizing under stringent hybridization conditions to a target sequence in the 5s, 16s or 23s rRNA of U. urealyticum, a corresponding rDNA or to a nucleic acid sequence complementary thereto.
