Method for detecting fusobacterium nucleatum and method for detecting fusobacterium nucleatum nucleatum

Abstract

According to one aspect of the present invention, this method for detecting Fusobacterium nucleatum in a sample involves a step for subjecting a DNA derived from a sample to nucleic acid amplification reaction using a primer set specific to a citrate lyase beta subunit gene of Fusobacterium nucleatum. According to said method, F. nucleatum can be specifically detected. According to another aspect of the present invention, this method for detecting Fusobacterium nucleatum nucleatum in a sample involves a step for subjecting a DNA derived from a sample to nucleic acid amplification reaction using a primer set specific to a dicarboxylate/amino acid: cation cotransporter gene of Fusobacterium nucleatum nucleatum. According to said method, F. nucleatum nucleatum can be specifically detected.
