Abstract:
The nucleic acid sequence encoding the internal transcribed spacer 2 region of Candida, the organism causing candidiasis, for various Candida species. Nucleic acid molecules useful as probes for detecting Candida species are described. The nucleic acid molecules are useful in methods for the detection and diagnosis of Candida infection in a sample or subject.
