Pichia kudriavzevii (Candida krusei)

Pichia kudriavzevii, also known as Candida krusei, is an opportunistic fungal pathogen associated with invasive candidiasis, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Notably, this species exhibits natural resistance to certain antifungal agents, making accurate detection critical for infection monitoring and antifungal stewardship.
Pichia kudriavzevii PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting P. kudriavzevii (C. krusei) DNA in human samples together with other STI pathogens. These molecular diagnostics tools offer accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked format for diagnostic use and as research use only (RUO) versions, these multiplex PCR assays support laboratory clinical workflows, P. kudriavzevii identification and diagnostics from clinical samples, applications such as sexually transmitted infections (STI) research, antifungal resistance studies, fungal epidemiology, and microbiological research.
