Abstract:
Bacillus licheniformis has been found to be one of the dominant nosocomial species of Bacillus: laboratories dealing with nosocomial infections must be able to identify Bacillus up to the species level. To date, no DNA probes have been isolated for B. licheniformis although there is a clear need for a direct detection by polymerase chain reaction. The isolation of a B. licheniformis-specific DNA probe, as described in this paper, represents the first step toward accomplishing this goal.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
Southern Blot
Denatured DNA fragments must be transferred onto a carrier membrane from the gel to make it accessible to a probe - a small ssDNA fragment complementary to the target DNA...
