Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to nucleic acid probes specific to Staphylococcus aureus, which is useful for detecting and identifying S. aureus in a biological sample. More particularly, the present invention relates to a DNA chip for detecting and identifying S. aureus, on which nucleic acid probes derived from 23 S rRNA gene of S. aureus are immobilized. The application of the DNA chips according to the present invention allows time-saving and accurate diagnosis of bacterial infection compared with the conventional bacterial culture methods.
Probes for detecting and identifying Staphylococcus aureus, which comprise one or more oligonucleotides selected from the group consisting of oligonucleotides having nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NOs:
