Kluyveromyces marxianus (Candida kefyr)

Kluyveromyces marxianus, also known as Candida kefyr, is an opportunistic yeast occasionally associated with fungemia and other invasive infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Though uncommon, it is important to distinguish this species due to its unique antifungal susceptibility profile and potential for clinical relevance in hospitalized settings.
Kluyveromyces marxianus PCR kit based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting K. marxianus (C. kefyr) 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 yeast identification, antifungal resistance monitoring, and mycological research.
