Utility of Molecular Sequence Analysis of the ITS rRNA Region for Identification of<i>Fusarium</i>spp. from Ocular Sources
22 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Fungal ocular infections cause significant ocular morbidity, particularly when diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Accurate morphologic identification of Fusarium spp. beyond the genus is time-consuming and insensitive. It was the purpose of this study to examine the usefulness of the nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA) internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS1 and -2) to detect and differentiate Fusarium spp....
