PRIMERS FOR DETECTING PATHOGEN CAUSING COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS

摘要

It is intended to provide primers for specifically detecting a fungal gene of the genus Coccidioides by the PCR method and discriminating C. immitis from C. posadasii. Namely, a primer set for detecting a fungus belonging to the genus Coccidioides or discriminating Coccidioides immitis from Coccidioides posadasii comprising a combination of a forward primer which comprises a base sequence consisting of 15 to 30 consecutive bases in the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 with a reverse primer which comprises a base sequence complementary to a base sequence consisting of 15 to 30 consecutive bases in the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:4.
