Detection, Identification, and Distribution of Fungi in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Specimens by Use of Multilocus PCR Coupled with Electrospray Ionization/Mass Spectrometry

Abstract excerpt

As pulmonary fungal infections continue to increase due to an increasing number of immunocompromised patients, rapid detection and accurate identification of these fungal pathogens are critical. A broad fungal assay was developed by incorporating broad-range multilocus PCR amplification and electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS) to detect and identify fungal organisms directly from clinical...
