Method and kit for bacterial identification using chromosomal DNA.

摘要

A method of bacterial identification which comprises hybridizing single-stranded chromosomal reference DNAs immobilized in a solid phase with a single-stranded DNA extracted from a bacterial strain to be assayed and labelled with a non-radioactive marker; and a kit for bacterial identification which contains reagents for extracting DNA 10 from bacterial cells to be assayed and containers in which single-stranded chromosomal reference DNAs are immobilized in a solid phase are disclosed. The method and the kit using a solid-phase container enable determination of bacterial homology by a non-isotopic technique in a precise and rapid manner.
