  • DETECTION, IDENTIFICATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF SERRATIA SPECIES USING THE SPACER REGION
    Publication number: 20090191558
    Abstract: The present invention relates to new nucleic acid sequences derived from the ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) region, between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes, to be used for the specific detection and/or identification of Serratia species, in particular of Serratia marcescens, Serratia ficaria and/or Serratia fonticola, in a biological sample. The present invention relates also to a method for the specific detection and/or identification of Serratia species, in particular Serratia marcescens, Serratia ficaria and/or Serratia fonticola, using said new nucleic acid sequences derived from the ITS region. It relates also to nucleic acid primers to be used for the amplification of said spacer region of Serratia species in a sample.

  • DETECTION, IDENTIFICATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF PROTEUS SPECIES USING THE SPACER REGION
    Publication number: 20090098558
    Abstract: The present invention relates to new nucleic acid sequences derived from the ITS region, between the 16S and 23S ribosomal ribionucleic acid (rRNA) or rRNA genes, to be used for the specific detection and/or identification of Proteus species, in particular of Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris and/or Proteus penneri in a biological sample. The present invention relates also to a method for the specific detection and/or identification of Proteus species, in particular Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris and/or Proteus penneri, using said new nucleic acid sequences derived from the ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) region. It relates also to nucleic acid primers to be used for the amplification of said spacer region of Proteus species in a sample.
