  • Patent number: 10626470
    Abstract: Compositions are disclosed as nucleic acid sequences that may be used as amplification oligomers, including primers, capture probes for sample preparation, and detection probes specific for Legionella pneumophila 16S or 23S rRNA sequences or DNA encoding 16S or 23S rRNA. Methods are disclosed for detecting the presence of L. pneumophila in samples by using the disclosed compositions in methods that include in vitro nucleic acid amplification of a 16S rRNA sequence or DNA encoding the 16S rRNA sequence, or of a 23S rRNA sequence or DNA encoding the 23S rRNA sequence to produce a detectable amplification product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 13, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2020
    Assignee: GEN-PROBE INCORPORATED
    Inventors: Jennifer J. Bungo, James J. Hogan, Reinhold B. Pollner, Marie K. Hudspeth, Shannon K. Kaplan, Elizabeth M. Marlowe

  • Patent number: 9845509
    Abstract: Compositions are disclosed as nucleic acid sequences that may be used as amplification oligomers, including primers, and detection probes that hybridize specifically to Legionella pneumophila 23S rRNA sequences or DNA encoding 23S rRNA. Reaction mixtures are disclosed that contain oligonucleotides for the in vitro amplification and/or detection of Legionella pneumophila 23S rRNA sequences or DNA encoding 23S rRNA. Methods are disclosed for amplifying and/or detecting the presence of L. pnuemophila in samples by using the disclosed compositions in in vitro methods that include nucleic acid amplification and/or detection of a 23S rRNA sequence or DNA encoding the 23S rRNA sequence to produce a detectable amplification product. Reaction mixtures are disclosed that contain oligonucleotides for the in vitro amplification and/or detection of Legionella pneumophila 23S rRNA sequences or DNA encoding 23S rRNA.
