The present invention relates to a method for detecting a
nucleic acid of a target
microorganism from a sample collected from
skin by using a
nucleic acid of
Corynebacterium spp. or Cutibacterium spp. as an endogenous internal control
nucleic acid, and a composition for nucleic acid amplification used in the method. The endogenous internal control according to the present invention is present in the sample from the beginning, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of having to add same separately after
sample collection, and can be used as an internal control for the
sample collection process, an internal control for the nucleic acid extraction process, and an internal control for the nucleic acid amplification process. In addition, by using the nucleic acid of
Corynebacterium spp. or Cutibacterium spp. as an endogenous internal control, it is possible to detect the presence or absence of a target microbial nucleic acid in a sample collected from
skin with high accuracy by minimizing false negative and false positive determinations.
