  • Universal gel and methods for use thereof
    Publication number: 20040086932
    Abstract: The present invention provides rapid detection methods that detect virtually all non-viral organisms, from a broad to a narrow spectrum. More particularly, the present invention provides SRP RNA nucleic acid probes and methods of using such nucleic acid probes for the rapid, sensitive detection of non-viral organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Using the detection methods of the present invention, major non-viral groups such as bacterial, fungi, and protozoa, as well as specific species, can be identified in samples. In addition, kits for use in carrying out the methods of the present invention are provided.

  • Methods for the detection of the bacterial agents causing spoilage of beer
    Patent number: 5705339
    Abstract: Nucleic acid sequences which preferentially bind to the rRNA or rDNA of microorganisms which cause the spoilage of beer are disclosed. The beer spoilage microorganisms are predominantly of the genera Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. The nucleic acids may be used as probes in assays to detect the presence of these microorganisms. Kits containing two or more probes are also described.
