Zusammenfassung:Methods of detecting Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae), are disclosed. A sample suspected of containing a nucleic acid of S. pneumoniae is screened for the presence or absence of that nucleic acid. The presence of the S. pneumoniae nucleic acid indicates the presence of S. pneumoniae. Determining whether the S. pneumoniae nucleic acid is present in the sample can be accomplished by detecting hybridization between a S. pneumoniae probe, such as a S. pneumoniae lytA probe, a S. pneumoniae psaA probe, or a S. pneumoniae ply probe. Probes and primers for the detection of S. pneumoniae are also disclosed. Kits and arrays that contain the disclosed probes and/or primers also are disclosed.
