Molecular genetic diagnostics of fungal infections
Candida albicans is an opportunistic microorganism that can cause diseases such as genital candidiasis (thrush), vaginosis, intestinal candidiasis, candidiasis of mucous membranes, all of which are associated with a significant deterioration in quality of life. PCR-based testing for Candida albicans DNA enables timely pathogen detection and treatment prescription, which may involve specific drugs.
A negative test result makes it possible to exclude candidiasis from the differential diagnosis.

Infections caused by yeast fungi have a wide range of clinical manifestations: from localized skin lesions or lesions of mucous membranes of the urogenital, respiratory and gastrointestinal systems to fungemia and multi-organ damage. As representatives of opportunistic microbiota of the macroorganism, under certain conditions yeast fungi can cause infectious inflammatory lesions of the skin and mucous membranes, as well as severe pathologies or even death. The main representatives of yeast fungi are fungi of the genera Candida, Saccharomyces, Debaryomyces and Malassezia.
Quick and accurate species identification and quantification of fungi is an important step towards diagnosis. And one of the most promising approaches to reaching an accurate diagnosis involves molecular genetic PCR-based methods.
