Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005017194A2] The invention relates to methods for detecting legionella-type bacteria by means of the sandwich hybridization process at temperatures of 50 to 55 DEG C. According to the invention, newly developed oligonucleotides whose sequences allow the bacteria and the legionella type to be detected in a type-specific or species-specific manner are used as collector probes and detection probes for said detection method. The collector probes and detection probes can advantageously be interchanged for the type-specific and species-specific detection of legionella species. Moreover, the inventive method can be carried out for species-specific probes by means of combinations of oligonucleotides.
