Performance of a Real-Time PCR Assay for the Detection of Five <i>Candida</i> Species in Blood Samples from ICU Patients at Risk of Candidemia

The gold standard for diagnosing invasive candidiasis still relies on blood cultures, which are inefficient and time-consuming to analyze. We developed an in-house qPCR assay to identify the 5 major <i>Candida</i> species in 78 peripheral blood (PB) samples from ICU patients at risk of c...
