Sequence information, specificity, amplicon size and molarity of oligonucleotide primers and probes used in the qPCR assays.

a)F, forward primer; R, reverse primer; P, probe; FAM, 6-carboxyfluorescein; BHQ1, Black Hole Quencher 1.b)Published oligonucleotide sequences showing mismatches were modified by using the nucleotides which are underlined at these positions.c)In their study, Morillo and colleagues [28] designated the forward primer as reverse and the other way around. Here, the correct designation is given.
