Clavispora lusitaniae (Candida lusitaniae)
Clavispora lusitaniae, also known as Candida lusitaniae, is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause invasive candidiasis, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. It is noteworthy for its potential resistance to amphotericin B and other antifungal agents, making accurate identification essential for guiding appropriate therapy.
Clavispora lusitaniae PCR kit based on real-time PCR technology offer a sensitive and specific method for detecting C. lusitaniae DNA in human samples together with other fungal pathogens. This molecular diagnostics tool offers accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked format for diagnostic use, this multiplex PCR assay supports a range of applications including bloodstream infection diagnostics from clinical samples, antifungal resistance surveillance, and fungal pathogen research.
