Debaryomyces hansenii (Candida famata)

Debaryomyces hansenii, formerly known as Candida famata, is a rare opportunistic yeast that has been isolated from clinical specimens in immunocompromised patients. Though infrequently encountered, it may cause bloodstream and mucosal infections, particularly in hospital settings. Reliable molecular identification is essential due to its phenotypic similarity to other Candida species.
Debaryomyces hansenii PCR kit based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting D. hansenii (C. famata) 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 applications such as rare fungal pathogen detection from clinical samples, antifungal resistance research, and fungal epidemiology.
