Hi all
We identified some lactic acid bacteria as lactococcus lactis ssp lactis, lactococcus lactis spp. cremoris and enterococcus faecium with API strips. But we have some problem about molecular identification by standart PCR. Primers targeting 16S for lactococcus lactis spp lactis, also works at cremoris and enterococcus. Also primers targeting cremoris also works at lactis and enterococcus. Is this primer not spesific for this strains or something different that we cant understand clearly.
Best regards
