PCR-based detection of DNA from the human pathogen <i>Blastomyces dermatitidis</i> from natural soil samples
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
Blastomyces dermatitidis is the dimorphic fungal agent of blastomycosis, a disease that primarily affects humans and dogs. The clinical appearance of this mycosis is well characterized, but there is still little known about its environmental niche, having been isolated from nature only 21 times. We have developed a PCR-based assay to detect B. dermatitidis from soil samples using primers specific to a portion of...
