PCR PRIMER SET FOR BACTERIAL DNA AMPLIFICATION, KIT FOR DETECTING AND/OR IDENTIFYING BACTERIAL SPECIES, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND/OR IDENTIFYING BACTERIAL SPECIES

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a primer set useful for further improvement of sensitivity in detection or identification of bacterial species in a sample by a PCR method, a kit for PCR using the primer set and a method of detection or identification of bacterial species in a sample using the primer set, as well as to further improve sensitivity in detection or identification of bacterial species in a sample by conducting a PCR method using the primer set with a minimized contamination amount of bacterial nucleic acid. A primer set according to the present invention comprises at least one primer pair in seven primer pairs obtained by selecting one primer pair from each of Groups S1 to S7 consisting of specific primers in order to achieve the above objects. In addition, a kit for detection of bacterial species according to the present invention comprises at least one primer pair in seven primer pairs obtained by selecting one primer pair from each of Groups K1 to K7 consisting of specific primers.
