Rapid and accurate identification of species belonging to the Candida parapsilosis complex by real-time PCR and melting curve analysis
24 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Candida parapsilosis is the second most frequent Candida species isolated from blood cultures. Since 2005, C. parapsilosis has been divided into three distinct species based on genetic traits: Candida parapsilosis, Candida metapsilosis and Candida orthopsilosis. The aim of this study was to develop a rapid real-time PCR assay able to distinguish these closely related species via a melting curve analysis. This...
