Sequences of the oligonucleotide probes used in this study.

The capture (denoted by “C”) and detector (denoted by “D”) probes were modified with 5′ biotin and 3′ fluorescein, respectively. The degenerate bases R represents bases A or G and Y represents C or T. E. coli (Ec), M. morganii (Mm), K. pneumoniae (Kp), K. ozaenae (Kz), P. mirabilis (Pm), P.vulgaris (Pv), E. faecalis (Ef), E. faecium (Ee), E. cloacae (El), E. aerogenes (Ea), C. freundii (Cf), C. braackii (Cb), P. aeruginosa (Pa), K. oxytoca (Ko), A. baumannii (Ab), P. stuartii (Ps), P. rettgeri (Pr), S. aureus (Sa), S. marcescens (Sm), S. fonticola (Sf), S. epidermidis (Se), S. saprophyticus (Ss), X. maltophilia (Xm), Diphtheroids (Dp), A. baumannii (Ab), A. faecalis (Af), F. indolgenes (Fi) were tested against above probe sets.
