Species identification of medically important fungi by use of real-time LightCycler PCR

Abstract excerpt

Invasive fungal infection has become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Rapid identification of pathogenic fungi to species level is critical for disease treatment. A real-time LightCycler assay aiming at rapid detection and species identification of pathogenic fungi from clinical isolates was developed. Template DNAs of different species were amplified and detected in real...
