ABSTRACT:
A method of detectingStreptococcus pneumoniae, which is characterized in that it comprises amplifying a lytA gene derived fromS. pneumoniaeusing a LAMP primer set comprising at least one primer having a nucleotide sequence that is identical to or complementary to a partial sequence in the region ranging from bp 40 to 450 of the nucleotide sequence region of the above-described lytA gene, and then detecting the obtained amplified product.
