ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are oligonucleotides useful in methods for determining whether a sample containsAtopobium vaginaeor has an increased likelihood of containingAtopobium vaginae, an organism which is seen in conjunction with bacterial vaginosis or is a causative agent of bacterial vaginosis. These oligonucleotides, which have nucleotide sequences derived from a segment of the genome ofAtopobium vaginae, are useful as forward and reverse primers for a polymerase chain reaction using nucleic acids from a biological sample as a template, and as probes for detecting any resultant amplicon. Detection of an amplicon indicates the sample containsAtopobium vaginaeor has an increased likelihood of containingAtopobium vaginae.
