Abstract
The present invention provides oligonucleotides and a method for using same to confirm the presence or absence of a gene resistant to hop, which gene is an important factor for determining the beer-spoilage ability of lactic acid bacteria, and for rapidly assessing the likelihood for beer-spoilage by the presence or absence of lactic acid bacteria having a hop resistance gene, hopA.
