Application of a non-amplification-based technology to detect invasive fungal pathogens DIAGNOSTIC MICROBIOLOGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE Hsu, J. L., Binkley, J., Clemons, K. V., Stevens, D. A., Nicolls, M. R., Holodniy, M. 2014; 78 (2): 137-140

Abstract

Current diagnostic techniques for fungal diseases could be improved with respect to sensitivity, specificity, and timeliness. To address this clinical need, we adapted a non-amplification-based nucleic acid detection technology to identify fungal pathogens. We demonstrate a high-specificity, detection sensitivity, reproducibility, and multiplex capacity for detecting fungal strains.
