ABSTRACT:
A test kit for the identification of various bacterial species groupings comprises a DNA probe which can identify palindromic units specific to particular bacterial species or species groupings. Such probes are highly specific for particular species or species subgroups. Accordingly, specific identification of bacteria may be achieved.
