Nitrocellulose filter blots for species identification of Mobiluncus curtisii and Mobiluncus mulieris

J Clin Microbiol. 1984 Oct;20(4):826-7. doi: 10.1128/jcm.20.4.826-827.1984.

Abstract

Seventy strains of Mobiluncus, motile curved anaerobic bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis, were correctly identified to species level by using bacteria fixed to nitrocellulose and hybridized with 32P-labeled DNA.
