PCR Followed by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Broad-Range Identification of Fungal Pathogens
10 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Invasive fungal infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among immunocompromised patients. Early and accurate identification of these pathogens is central to direct therapy and to improve overall outcome. PCR coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS) was evaluated as a novel means for identification of fungal pathogens. Using a database grounded by 60 ATCC reference...
