The present invention is directed to the design of two nucleoside peptides (PNAs) for detecting Lactobacillus bacteria and / or Gardnerella spp. These probes are applied to a process based on techniques of molecular biology, especially fluoride-in-situ hybridization (FISH) FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS OR THE DETECTION AND QUANTIFICATION OF THESE BACTERIAL GENES IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF SAMPLES, INCLUDING BLOOD, FOODS, BIOPSIES, FERTILIZERS, WATER AND OTHER CLINICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES OR FROM THE AGRICULTURAL OR FOOD INDUSTRY. |
