ABSTRACT:
The use of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene system as a target for the detection and differentiation of pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms including bacteria, fungi and protozoans is described. Also described are oligonucleotides which may be used in the form of primers and probes to amplify and detect target sequences derived from SOD genes, especially from SOD genes of pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms.
