Rapid Detection of Species of the Opportunistic Yeast Trichosporon by PCR [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT Trichosporon species are opportunistic pathogens, associated with a high mortality rate in immunocompromised patients. Oligonucleotide primers were used to amplify a 170-bp fragment of small-subunit ribosomal DNA of all species in the genus Trichosporon by PCR. The primers amplify DNAs
