A multiplex PCR assay that can readily and unambiguously identify Pediococcus acidilactici and pediococcus pentosaceus strains was developed to give an easy-to-read profile based on the amplification of a 16S rRNA gene fragment, specific for each species, and a d-lactate dehydrogenase gene fragment specific for Pediococcus acidilactici strains.
