Processes and agents for detecting Listerias

The invention relates to agents and processes for detecting bacteria of the genus Listeria, in particular L. monocytogenes. The agents according to the invention include primers whose sequence is selected from the iap gene of L. monocytogenes. In addition, the agents according to the invention include peptides whose sequence is selected from the p60 protein and which are suitable for producing specific antibodies for the immunological detection of L. monocytogenes.

Processes and agents for detecting listerias

The invention relates to agents and methods for the immunological detection of bacteria of the genus Salmonella. The agents according to the invention include peptides whose sequence is selected from the PagC protein, and which are suitable for producing specific antibodies for the immunological detection of salmonellae.

Antibodies directed to pagC peptides for the detection of salmonellae

The invention relates to oligonucleotides which are suitable for use as nucleic acid probes or as primers for the detection of Enterobacteriaceae, in particular of pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae, such as, for example, Salmonella sp. The oligonucieotides according to the invention are selected from the salmolysin-like DNA region and possess a sequence according to one of the formulae IIIa to IIIh, or a corresponding complementary sequence:

Oligonucleotides for the detection of enterobacteriaceae selected from
