The present invention relates to new primers for the detection of any of
three important bacterial indicator groups used in food microbiology and
two virulence factors, which are associated with the aetiology of several
types of watery and bloody human diarrhoea. It also provides a method for
subtyping the two virulence factors. Furthermore, the present invention
also relates to use of the primers, as well as use of the primers in a
method which enables this detection, as well as the detection of new
emerging pathogenic bacteria.
