Abstract
Identification of enterococci species by hybridization with recently designed species-specific and group-specific 23S rDNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes was superior to results obtained with a common biochemical test panel. Considering these findings, a molecular biological procedure for the detection of enterococci in water samples was developed. A short enrichment is followed by an amplification step and a hybridization reaction in microtiter plate format. The detection limit is about 1 CFU/ml, and results are available within 26 h.Entities:
