A Neisseria-specific DNA probe is selected from the group of the oligonucleotides Opa 1, Opa 2, Opa 3, P III, Pil 1, IgA 1 and IgA 2 or sequences complementary to this and can be identified on the 5′- and / or 3′- End up to 5 more nucleotides. The probe is suitable for detecting at least one of the pathogenic Neisseria species N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis under hybridization conditions by detecting hybrid formation. |
