Abstract
Staphylococcus saprophyticus is one of the most frequently encountered clinically significant members of the coagulase-negative staphylococc i. A set of species-specific PCR primers was defined for the detection of Staphylococcus saprophyticus. These primers target variable region s (V3 and V6) of the 16S rRNA gene. Primer-specific PCR has potential applications in epidemiological studies and diagnosis of Staphylococcu s saprophyticus.
