  • Patent number: 7183085
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the detection of L. brevis. The method comprises bringing the sample into contact with a combination of at least two first nucleic acid molecules, which hybridize with a L. brevis nucleic acid amplifying the L. brevis nucleic acid or a portion thereof to produce at least one amplification fragment; contacting the amplification fragments with at least one second nucleic acid molecule, which specifically hybridises with at least one amplification fragment that comprises a sequence of the L. brevis nucleic acid; and detecting at least one hybrid nucleic acid which consists of an amplification fragment and a second nucleic acid molecule.
