Practical Method for Detection and Identification of Candida, Aspergillus , and Scedosporium spp. by Use of Rolling-Circle Amplification
22 May 2008

The assay was rapid (2 hours) and specific. Of 28 fungal isolates (16 of Candida, six of Aspergillus, and six of Scedosporium spp.), all were all identified correctly.
