Nucleic acid probes and methods for detecting fungal pathogens clinically important

摘要

(57) [summary] The present invention relates to the field of detection and identification of fungi clinically important. More particularly, the present invention, Pneumocystis carini Candida albicans in clinical samples, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis, Candida kefyr, Candida krusei, Candida glabrata, Candidadubliniensis, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus versicolor, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Cryptococcus neoformans methods of using the probe for detecting a fungal species, such as, as well as species-specific probe derived from the internal transcribed spacer of the rDNA (Internal Transcribed Spacer) to (ITS) region.
