Candida auris ITS2 gene [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection

C auris ITS2 Spec Ql NAA+probe

Definition

Qualitative results for the detection of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region of the ribosomal gene in Candida auris DNA from clinical specimens, including swabs from nasal, axilla, and groin as well as from various surfaces in clinical settings. The test is used for rapid screening of C. auris in order to control and prevent its spread in the healthcare facilities. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the New York Public Health lab's real-time PCR assay, which detects C. auris and related species: Candida duobushaemulonii, Candida haemulonii, and Candida lusitaniae.
