Dantas,Katia Cristina; Freitas,Roseli S.; Moreira,Adriana Pardini Vicentini; Silva,Marcos Vinicius da; Benard,Gil; Vasconcellos,CidiaThe aim of the study was to detect the rDNA sequences and their regions in Histoplasma capsulatum, which could be considered species-specific and used as a molecular method for this diagnosis by the technique of nested polymerase chain reaction (nested PCR), employing specific sequences (primers) for H. capsulatum: 18S rDNA region (HC18), 100 kDa (HC100) and the sequence 5.8 S-ITS rDNA (HC5.8). The PCR sequence...
