Rapid Identification of Candida Species with Species-Specific DNA Probes
Open accessAbstract
Rapid identification of Candida species has become more important because of an increase in infections caused by species other than Candida albicans , including species innately resistant to azole antifungal drugs. We previously developed a PCR assay with an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) format to detect amplicons from the five most common Candida species by using universal fungal primers and species-specific probes directed to the ITS2 region of the gene for rRNA. We designed probes to detect seven additional Candida species ( C. guilliermondii , C. kefyr , C. lambica , C. lusitaniae , C. pelliculosa , C. rugosa , and C. zeylanoides ) included in the API 20C sugar assimilation panel, five probes for species not identified by API 20C ( C. haemulonii , C. norvegica , C. norvegensis , C. utilis , and C. viswanathii ), and a probe for the newly described species C. dubliniensis , creating a panel of 18 Candida species probes. The PCR-EIA correctly identified multiple strains of each species tested, including five identified as C. albicans by the currently available API 20C database but determined to be C. dubliniensis by genotypic and nonroutine phenotypic characteristics. Species identification time was reduced from a mean of 3.5 days by conventional identification methods to 7 h by the PCR-EIA. This method is simple, rapid, and feasible for identifying Candida species in clinical laboratories that utilize molecular identification techniques and provides a novel method to differentiate the new species, C. dubliniensis , from C. albicans .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
