Abstract
Described are probes and methods for detecting antibiotic susceptibility of a specimen. The method comprises contacting the specimen with an oligonucleotide probe that specifically hybridizes with a target nucleic acid sequence region of ribosomal RNA. The target sequence is at the junction between a pre-ribosomal RNA tail and mature ribosomal RNA of 23S or 16S rRNA. Performing the method in the presence and absence of an antibiotic permits detection of antibiotic susceptibility.
