Specific nucleic acid sequences, e.g., SEQ ID NOs: 1&#x2013;8, for detecting. Also disclosed is a method of detecting. The method includes providing a sample having a nucleic acid from an unknown microorganism; amplifying the nucleic acid with an upstream primer containing SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3 and a downstream primer containing SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4, each primer being 18&#x2013;40 nucleotides in length; and detecting an amplification product. Detection of the amplification product, e.g., using SEQ ID NO: 5, 6, 7, or 8 as a probe, indicates the presence of

Specific nucleic acid sequences, e.g., SEQ ID NOs:2-8, for detecting. Also disclosed is a method of detecting. The method includes providing a sample having a nucleic acid from an unknown microorganism; amplifying the nucleic acid with a pair of primers, each containing an oligo-nucleotide selected from thegap regulator gene region (SEQ ID NO:1) and each having 14-40 nucleotides in length; and detecting an amplification product. Detection of the amplification product, e.g., using SEQ ID NO:2, 7, or 8 as a probe, indicates the presence of

Method for detecting Staphylococcus aureus

Specific nucleic acid sequences, e.g., SEQ ID NOs:1-57, for simultaneous detection of seven most common viruses that cause respiratory infections in human, i.e., human parainfluenza virus 1, human parainfluenza virus 2, human parainfluenza virus 3, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus A, influenza virus B, and adenovirus. Also disclosed is a method of simultaneously detecting these viruses. The method includes providing a nucleic acid prepared from a sample suspected of containing a virus to be detected, amplifying the nucleic acid with a set of primers specific for one or more of the seven viruses, and detecting amplification products. Detection of an amplification product specific for any one of the seven viruses indicates the presence of that particular virus.
