POLYNUCLEOTIDES FOR THE DETECTION OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS

Title:

POLYNUCLEOTIDES FOR THE DETECTION OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/108579

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Polynucleotide primers and probes for the specific amplification and detection of S. aureus in samples are provided. The polynucleotide primers and probes are targeted to the S. aureus gene and are capable of detecting a wide range of S. aureus strains. The primers and probes can be used in real time diagnostic assays for rapid detection of S. aureus in a variety of situations. Kits comprising the primers and probes are also provided.
