Abstract:
Primers designed in this study were used in a polymerase chain reaction test to amplify a species-specific fragment of approximately 340 bp of the large subunit ribosomal DNA of Debaryomyces hansenii/Candida famata. None of the other medically relevant yeasts including C. guilliermondii, and also the related species, D. nepalensis and C. saitoana, were amplified by this primer pair.
