Six 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes were designed, validated, and used to
quantify predominant groups of anaerobic bacteria in human fecal samples. A set of two
probes was specific for species of the Bacteroides fragilis group and the species
Bacteroides distasonis. Two others were designed to detect species of the Clostridium
histolyticum and the Clostridium lituseburense groups. Another probe was designed for the
genera Streptococcus and Lactococcus, and the final probe was designed for the species of�…
