Abstract:
16S- and 18S-specific primers and probes were developed to detect pathogenic bacteria in environmental samples. Microbial communities within samples within environmetal samples were analyzed using DGGE electrophoresis.

Key words:
    FISH
    DGGE electrophoresis
    detection of pathogenic microorganisms in the environment
