ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a method for diagnosing for Pneumocystis carinii by detecting the presence of a nucleic acid sequence containing the 26S rRNA gene specific for Pneumocystis carinii. More particularly, this invention relates to a method for diagnosing for Pneumocystis carinii which comprises amplifying a sample of DNA from Pneumocystis carinii by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using species specific primers and detecting the PCR products with species specific radioactive or non-radioactive oligonucleotide probes. This invention also relates to a method for diagnosing for various species of Pneumocystis carinii by detecting the presence of a nucleic acid sequence containing the particular 16S or 26S rRNA gene sequence specific for that species of Pneumocystis carinii.
