Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules which allow the identification of bacteria or groups of bacteria. For detection, the region of the bacterial genome containing the 23 S/5 S rRNA is used as the target sequence for the bacterial detection.

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.

Abstract: A kit and a nucleic acid molecule primer and/or probe for the analytical detection of Staphylococcus aureus are disclosed. The detection employs nucleic acid amplification and/or nucleic acid hybridization.

Abstract: Method and nucleic acids for the detection of microorganisms of the species Yersinia pestis/Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and/or differentiation between Yersinia pestis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in a sample.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nucleic acid molecule or nucleic acid molecules and also to a method for the rapid and sensitive detection of bacteria of the pathogenic species Listeria monocytogenes. The invention further relates to a test kit or test kits for carrying out the detection methods mentioned.

Abstract: The object of the invention are oligonucleotides which can be used for the detection of pathogenic bacteria. With the aid of these oligonucleotides a method can be applied which enables the selection of pathogenic bacteria from non-pathogenic bacteria. Preferably the detection of the bacteria includes a PCR. Oligonucleotides are also provided which can be used as a positive control for the PCR.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a yeast strain for human and animal consumption. It may be dispensed as a fermented drink, drink suspension, medicine or component in a baked mixture. Extracts from cells of the strain may also be consumed.
