Abstract

Oligonucleotides (SEQ ID NOs 1-8) selectively hybridizable with a specific gene of Vibro parahaemolyticus, oligonucleotides (SEQ ID NOs 9-13) selectively hybridizable with the LT gene of toxigenic Escherichia coil, oligonucleotides (SEQ ID NOs 14-21) selectively hybrizable with the STh or STp gene of toxigenic Escherichia coil, oligonucleotides (SEQ ID NOs 22-47) selectively hybridizable with the entA, B, C, or D gene of Staphylococcus aureus, or oligonucleotides (SEQ ID NOs 48-53) selectively hybridizable with the entE gene of Staplyloccus aureus are prepared and used as primers for gene amplification to thereby selectively detect only respective microorganisms causing food poisoning.
