Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization with Peptide Nucleic Acid Probes for Rapid Identification of <i>Candida albicans</i> Directly from Blood Culture Bottles
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
A new fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method that uses peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes for identification of Candida albicans directly from positive-blood-culture bottles in which yeast was observed by Gram staining (herein referred to as yeast-positive blood culture bottles) is described. The test (the C. albicans PNA FISH method) is based on a fluorescein-labeled PNA probe that targets C. albicans...
