Optimization of PCR–RFLP Directly from the Skin and Nails in Cases of Dermatophytosis, Targeting the ITS and the 18S Ribosomal DNA Regions
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A pan fungal primer targeting the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region and optimization of PCR-RFLP using a dermatophyte specific primer targeted the 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) region were performed for the identification of dermatophyte species and strains directly from clinical specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and thirty eight specimens (129 skin scrapings and 9 nail clippings) from...
