摘要: Methods and kits are described for testing the presence or absence of any fungus in a sample. Examples fungi that can be detected include, but not limited to, those belonging to genera Candida, Aspergillus Pneumocystis. The methods include obtaining sample suspected containing fungal nucleic acid, including at least one universal region acid. Samples may biological non-biological.
