Abstract
A method for the identification of the presence of and and/or in liquid or liquified samples. The method employs novel oligonucleotide primers based on sequences of the LamB gene and the transposase gene Tn1546. The method involves enrichment of the liquid or liquified sample, preferably using a selective medium, obtaining DNA from bacteria in the sample, and PCR amplification of the DNA using the novel oligonucleotide primers. Kits with the primers are also contemplated.
