Abstract
The present invention is directed to eubacterial tmDNA sequences and the corresponding tmRNA sequences. The present invention is further directed to alignments of eubacterial tmDNA sequences and the use of the sequences and sequence alignments for the development of antibacterial drugs. The present invention is also directed to the use of the sequences for the development of diagnostic assays.
Claims6
An isolated nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of a tmRNA sequence for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a tmDNA sequence encoding said tmRNA sequence, and a full-length complement of said tmDNA sequence, wherein the tmRNA sequence for Neisseria gonorrhoeae has the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:146.
A method for diagnosing a bacterial infection associated with Neisseria gonorrhoeae comprising determining the presence of a bacterial nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of a tmRNA sequence for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a tmDNA sequence encoding said tmRNA sequence, and a full-length complement of said tmDNA sequence, wherein the tmRNA sequence for Neisseria gonorrhoeae has the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:146.
