Rapid Detection and Identification of<i>Candida</i>,<i>Aspergillus</i>, and<i>Fusarium</i>Species in Ocular Samples Using Nested PCR
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
A protocol for the rapid detection of fungal DNA in ocular samples, derived from three species, Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Fusarium solani, has been developed. Two novel panfungal primers complementary to 18S rRNA sequences present in all three species were designed. Panfungal PCR was followed by three nested PCRs utilizing species-specific primers. PCR sensitivity ranged from 50 to 100 fg of...
