ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting pathogens, particularly organisms associated with sexually transmitted diseases, especially Human papilloma virus genotypes is described. The method involves the use of real-time PCR using specially designed probes. The probes, kits for carrying out the method, and methods for designing primers suitable for use in the method of the invention are also described.
