Abstract
The invention relates to a method of detecting the presence ofin a sample using novel oligonucleotide sequences. Also presented is a kit for putting the method into practice and novel nucleic acid sequences for ompF. The ompF gene was found to be 100% inclusive forspecies and 100% exclusive for non-species for the strains tested thus making it an excellent marker for identification of both the species ofand. Two hundred and eighteen isolates belonging to(subspecies I-VI) andwere examined using novel primers designed to detect the ompF gene. The target was present in all the 218isolates including all the subspecies ofand. The ompF gene was absent in 180 non-strains tested.
