ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses hybridization assay probes for Haemophilus influenzae comprised of an oligonucleotide of about 14 to 18 nucleotides. These probes hybridize to variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene of Haemophilus influenzae. The oligonucleotide probes are complementary to the rRNA variable region of the rRNA gene. Such probe specificity offers a rapid, non-subjective method of identification and quantitation of a bacterial colony for the presence of selected rRNA sequences capable of distinguishing all strains of Haemophilus influenzae.
