Fungal Candida Multiplex Detection Differentiation Test
Introduction
The Fungal Candida Multiplex Detection Differentiation Test is an advanced diagnostic tool designed to identify various species of Candida, including C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. krusei, C. nivariensis, C. dubliniensis, and C. Clavispora lusitaniae. This qualitative RNA detection test employs Real-Time PCR technology, which allows for rapid and accurate identification of these fungal pathogens. Understanding the specific Candida species present in a patient’s body is crucial for effective treatment, especially in cases of invasive candidiasis.
