Patent number: 9347944Abstract: Provided are a method and a kit for accurately and rapidly detecting ten types of targeting pneumonia bacteria: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Moraxella catarrhalis, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Staphylococcus aureus. A set of primer pairs directed to their respective target regions contained in the DnaJ gene, etc., of the ten types of pneumonia causative bacteria is designed for the ten bacterial strains and used to amplify gene products. A set of bacterial strain-specific probe pairs is further designed for the ten bacterial strains such that the probe pairs hybridize with the amplification products via sequences in the respective target regions differing from the sequences hybridized by the set of primer pairs.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2011Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Yamaguchi Technology Licensing Organization, Ltd.Inventors: Mutsunori Shirai, Takayuki Ezaki, Tsukasa Hayashi, Takeshi Ujiiye, Makoto Ganaha, Shigekazu Yamamoto
