PCR protocol for specific identification of Candida nivariensis, a recently described pathogenic yeast.

ABSTRACT: Candida nivariensis is a recently described pathogenic yeast closely related to Candida glabrata. We developed a specific set of oligonucleotide primers based on the internal transcribed spacer regions of the rRNA gene for the rapid identification of C. nivariensis. PCR with these primers amplified a 206-bp amplicon from C. nivariensis.
