Abstract
This invention provides a DNA oligomer having the sequence 5'GGACATAGGCTGATCTCTTAGC3' (SEQ ID NO: 1) and which is complementary to Campylobacter pylori 16S ribosomal RNA sequences, for use as a probe to detect Campylobacter pylori. This invention also provides DNA oligomers having the sequences 5'GCGCAATCAGCGTCAGGTAATG3' (SEQ ID NO: 2) and 5'GCTAAGAGATCAGCCTATGTCCC3' (SEQ ID NO: 3) and which are complementary to certain Campylobacter pylori 16S ribosomal RNA sequences, for use as polymerase chain reaction primers for the detection of Campylobacter pylori. This invention also provides a method for producing species-specific bacterial or protozoan DNA oligomers encoding 16S ribosomal RNA by means of the polymerase chain reaction for use as species-specific probes and PCR primers, and methods for detection and identification of bacteria and protozoa. Further, this invention provides a DNA oligomer having the sequence 5'ACGGGCGGTGTGTGC3' (SEQ ID NO: 4).
