tailieunhanh - PCR as a rapid diagnostic tool for detection of dermatophytes
Dermatophytes are a group of closely related keratinophilic fungi that can invade keratinized humans and animals tissues such as skin, hair and nails causing dermatophytosis. They are an important cause of superficial fungal infection. Conventional methods like potassium hydroxide (KOH) direct microscopy and fungal culture lacks the ability to make an early and specific diagnosis, as it takes about four weeks for the culture to grow on Sabourauds dextrose agar. So the present study was carried out by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using group specific primers targeting dermatophyte specific sequence of chitin synthase 1 (CHS1) gene with an estimated product size of 288bp. | PCR as a rapid diagnostic tool for detection of dermatophytes
