Claims12
A kit for the analytical detection of Staphylococcus aureus, comprising at least one nucleic acid molecule primer and/or probe adapted to selectively hybridize to RNA or DNA of Staphylococcus aureus, wherein said nucleic acid molecule consists of at least 15 successive nucleotides of SEQ ID NO.1 or sequences complementary to SEQ ID NO.1, wherein said nucleic acid molecule comprises nucleotides 64 to 73 of SEQ ID NO.1, nucleotides 110 to 121 of SEQ ID NO.1, or sequences complementary to said nucleic acid molecules, or wherein said nucleic acid molecule comprises at least 15 successive nucleotides of nucleotides 127 to 156 of SEQ ID NO.1, or sequences complementary to said nucleic acid molecule.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule primer and/or probe, consisting of SEQ ID NO.1 or sequences complementary to said nucleic acid molecule.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule primer and/or probe, consisting of nucleotide positions 54 to 83 of SEQ ID NO.1 or sequences complementary to said nucleic acid molecule.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule primer and/or probe, consisting of a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 3, SEQ ID NO. 4, and sequences complementary to said nucleic acid molecule.
