  • Detection, identification and differentiation of using a hybridization assay
    Patent number: 8945850
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the specific detection and/or identification of Staphylococcus species, in particular Staphylococcus aureus, using new nucleic acid sequences derived from the ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) region. The present invention relates also to said new nucleic acid sequences derived from the ITS region, between the 16S and 23S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) or rRNA genes, to be used for the specific detection and/or identification of Staphylococcus species, in particular of S. aureus, in a biological sample. It relates also to nucleic acid primers to be used for the amplification of said spacer region of Staphylococcus species in a sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 18, 2008
    Date of Patent: February 3, 2015
    Assignees: Fujirebio Europe N.V., Roche Diagnostics GmbH
    Inventors: Sofie Claeys, Geert Jannes, Gerd Haberhausen, Thomas Emrich, Lia Verdoodt
