Newer Emerging Pathogens of Ocular Non-Sporulating Molds (NSM) Identified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-Based DNA Sequencing Technique Targeting Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) Region

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To apply Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based DNA sequencing targeting Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region for identification of non-sporulating molds (NSM) to species level which formed 12% of ocular isolates of fungi in a tertiary eye hospital in South India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty ocular filamentous fungal NSM isolates recovered from 45 patients were included in the study. PCR-based DNA...
