| BBa_K2808000 | DNA | N-acetyl glucosamine-binding protein A (gbpA) gene for the detection of Vibrio cholera The gbpA gene in Vibrio cholerae codes for the N-acetyl glucosamine-binding protein A (GbpA), which is a chitin-binding protein involved in the attachment of V. cholerae to environmental chitin surfaces and human intestinal cells. The gbpA gene has been found to be consistently present and highly conserved in V. cholerae. GbpA has been used as a target gene for the species-specific detection of V. cholerae O1, O139, Non-O1/Non-O139. |
| BBa_K2808001 | DNA |
N-benzoylglycine amidohydrolase (hippuricase) (hipO) gene for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni hipO gene codes for N-benzoylglycine amidohydrolase (hippuricase) in Campylobacter jejuni. Due its specificity to the organism and the lack of toxicity, various research projects have used this gene for the detection of C. jejuni through techniques such as PCR. |
| BBa_K2808002 | DNA |
Invasion protein (invA) gene for the detection of Salmonella typhimurium The invA gene is involved in the invasion of the cells of the intestinal epithelium and could be involved in the translocation of the InvE protein in Salmonella typhimurium. Due its specificity to the organism and the lack of toxicity, various research projects have used this gene for the detection of S. typhimurium. |
| BBa_K2808003 | DNA | lmo0773 alcohol dehydrogenase gene for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes The lmo0773 alcohol dehydrogenase is involved in oxidoreductase activity. Due its specificity to the organism and the lack of toxicity, various research projects have used this gene for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes. |
