摘要
A method for detection of Candida albicans in biological samples (blood, serum, urine) was developed by the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of a DNA fragment of a gene coding for a 65 kDa mannoprotein of C. albicans (CaMP65). The PCR amplifies a 220 bp fragments whose specificity for C. albicans was demonstrated by Southern blot with a non-radioactive probe, leading to the differentiation from all other yeast species or human and bacterial DNA. The sensitivity of this assay was 5 - 10 C. albicans cells per milliliter of biological sample. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
