PCR-RFLP as a useful tool for diagnosis of invasivemycoses in a healthcare faci...
Sousa, Diego Rayan Teixeira de; Silva Santos, Carla Silvana da; Wanke, Bodo; Silva, Roberto Moreira da; dos Santos, Marcelo CordeiroBackground: The incidence of invasive mycoses is increasing worldwide. PCR-RFLP was applied to the identification of 10 reference strains and 90 cultures of agents of invasive mycoses. In addition, the new approach was applied to detect fungal agents in 120 biological samples (blood, cerebrospinal fluid and bone marrow). PCR-RFLP results were compared with the ones obtained with conventional methods (culture, m...
