Development and Validation of a Quantitative PCR Assay for Diagnosis of Scedosporiosis
6 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Scedosporium apiospermum and Scedosporium prolificans are fungal pathogens that can cause severe human infections, including disseminated mycosis in immunocompromised patients. Two real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assays for the diagnosis of these species were developed and validated for the classification of clinical strains and for the detection of DNA in clinical samples by use of a murine model of invasive infection. A...
