ABSTRACT:
Provided areNocardia farcinica-specific primers comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1-39. Provided is a polynucleotide represented by SEQ ID NO:41 and SEQ ID NO:40. Further provided is a method of identifying aNocardia farcinicainfection in a subject with the primer identified by SEQ ID NO:1-39, or detecting the presence of a polynucleotide consisting of the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:40 or SEQ ID NO:41. Also provided is a method of identifyingNocardia farcinicainfection in a subject by amplifying DNA from the subject using aNocardia farcinica-specific primer comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1-39. Further provided is a kit for identifyingNocardia farcinicacomprising aNocardia farcinica-specific primer comprising SEQ ID: NO:1-39 and a kit for identifyingNocardia farcinicacomprising aNocardia farcinicaspecific primer capable of amplifying SEQ ID NO:41.
