METHOD FOR DETECTION OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA, AND KIT FOR USE IN THE METHOD

摘要

Disclosed is a method for detecting a pathogenic bacterium that is suspected to be present in a sample in a simple, rapid and specific manner. A nucleic acid amplification reaction that targets for a capsular polysaccharide gene of the pathogenic bacterium. The presence or absence of the pathogenic bacterium in the sample is determined on the basis of the results of the amplification.
