Abstract
Disclosed is a method of detecting bacteria in a biological sample, especially a blood sample, without the need for extensive sub-culturing of the sample. Nucleic acid present within the sample is isolated and bacterial DNA specifically amplified using primers that uniquely prime the amplification of 16s rRNA-encoding nucleic acid. The amplicons are then digested with an endonuclease to yield a restriction fragment length profile for the biological sample. The restriction fragment length profile for the biological sample is then compare to a database of profiles made using cultures of known bacterial species. A match between the sample profile and the database identifies the bacteria present in the sample.
