A DNA-probe for the detection of the species Staphylococcus haemolyticus

A 1.3-kb DNA fragment isolated from Staphylococcus haemolyticus strain DSM 20264 can be used as a specific probe for this species. The probe hybridized with 39 clinical isolates of S. haemolyticus but not with any of the 121 isolates representative of the other 25 species of staphylococci described...

Description
Summary:A 1.3-kb DNA fragment isolated from Staphylococcus haemolyticus strain DSM 20264 can be used as a specific probe for this species. The probe hybridized with 39 clinical isolates of S. haemolyticus but not with any of the 121 isolates representative of the other 25 species of staphylococci described to date.
