Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, widely known as baker’s or brewer’s yeast, is generally considered non-pathogenic but can act as an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised individuals. It has been implicated in rare cases of fungemia and invasive infections, particularly in hospitalized patients or those exposed to probiotic strains. Accurate detection is important in clinical mycology and contamination monitoring.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae PCR kit based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting S. cerevisiae 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, fungal contamination tracking, and mycological research from clinical samples.
