PCR-Based Identification of Oral Streptococcal Species

Figure 1

Primer sets GDH1 and GDH2 were evaluated for specificity by testing for amplification of a PCR product from DNA isolated from a panel of ATCC type strains representing species typically found in the oral cavity. Representative gels are shown. The DNA preps used for all primer set amplifications were confirmed to yield product with a set of universal primers (UNIV) for the 16S rRNA gene.
