PROBE FOR DIAGNOSING CANDIDA-INFECTIONS

摘要

The invention provides a probe useful for rapidly detecting and identifying fungi causative of infectious diseases by digesting completely a DNA extracted from a fungus Candidat albicans with EcoRI, inserting the same into an appropriate cloning vector, and picking up a probe containing DNA fragments unique to each fungus. The invention also provides a standard sequence suitable for making reference to a genomic DNA contained in a clinical specimen by elucidating the base sequence of the probe thus picked up. <IMAGE>
