In the present study, novel types of polynucleotide probes (oligo-oligonucleotide and RING-FISH probes) were generated. For the first time, an effective procedure was established for the synthesis of taxon-specific oligo-oligonucleotide probes, which combine the advantages of oligonucleotide probes (specificity) and polynucleotide probes (secondary structures). Furthermore, RING-FISH probes were developed for the detection of antibiotic resistance genes of bacteria. The optimised hybridisation protocols enabled the application of these novel RNA polynucleotide probes for the detection of clinically relevant bacteria on slides. Additionally, using the generated probes bacteria from different clinical samples could be enriched.
