Background: The effectiveness and reliability of diagnostic tests that detect DNA sequences largely hinge on the quality of the used primers and probes. This importance is especially evident when considering the specific sample being analyzed, as it affects the molecular background and potential for cross-reactivity, ultimately determining the test’s performance. Methods: Predicting primers based on the consensus sequence of the target has multiple advantages, including high specificity, diagnostic reliability, broad applicability, and long-term validity. Automated curation of the input sequences ensures high-quality primers and probes. Results: Here, we present a use case for developing a set of consensus primers and probes to identify antibiotic resistance and virulence genes in Staphylococcus (S.) aureus using the ConsensusPrime pipeline. Extensive qPCR experiments with several S. aureus strains confirm the exceptional quality of the primers designed using the pipeline. Conclusions: By improving the quality of the input sequences and using the consensus sequence as a basis, the ConsensusPrime pipeline pipeline ensures high-quality primers and probes, which should be the basis of molecular assays.
