Thus, ORMA helped in developing a reliable PCR-LDR-UA assay, which allowed the identification of pathogenic species in milk, based only on 16S rRNA gene, whereas other assays (37) needed multiple genes. The molecular procedure permitted the discrimination between the most frequently isolated or emerging The exact probes sequence from ORMA is reported. For synthesis purpose, any degenerated base was substituted with inosine (I). The description of the reported columns is the same as those in Table 2 .
