S, sense; A, antisense; b, biotin-labeled primer (primers were biotin labeled at the 5′ end); p, probe (probes were 5′ end C6 amine labeled).
Based on published sequence data for the whole cps gene cluster, it was not possible to design primers/probes that could distinguish some individual serotypes from one or four closely related ones (shown in boldface), usually (but not always) belonging to the same serogroup.
Tm values were provided by the primer synthesizer (Sigma-Aldrich).
Numbers represent the base positions at which primer/probe sequences start and finish (starting at “1” of the corresponding GenBank sequence).
Two primers published previously (8) were used as species-specific probes.
