Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/031973
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are an oligonucleotide allowing toxin-producing clostridium difficile to be specifically detected with high sensitivity, and a method of detecting toxin-producing clostridium difficile using same. 1) A primer pair including an oligonucleotide consisting of a base sequence indicated by SEQ ID. NO. 1 and an oligonucleotide consisting of a base sequence indicated by SEQ ID. NO. 2, or a primer pair including complementary base sequences corresponding thereto. 2) A primer pair including an oligonucleotide consisting of a base sequence indicated by SEQ ID. NO. 4 and an oligonucleotide consisting of a base sequence indicated by SEQ ID. NO. 5, or a primer pair including complementary base sequences corresponding thereto.
