ABSTRACT:
A HWP1 gene sequence or fragment or variants thereof as a target region in a nucleic acid based assay forCandida albicansand an isolated nucleic acid molecule useful as a probe for identifyingC. albicansin a sample. A method for the detection ofC. albicansin a sample and quantification of HWP1 gene expression inC. albicansis also described.
