Abstract:
1. A method of detecting whether Paecilomyces variotii is present in a sample, said method comprising (I) adding, to said sample, or adding to DNA prepared from DNA or RNA obtained from said sample, a primer pair or primer group selected from the group consisting of: (i) a primer pair in which the nucleotide sequence of one primer is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5 and the nucleotide sequence of the other primer is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6; (ii) a primer pair in which the nucleotide sequence of one primer is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7 and the nucleotide sequence of the other primer is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8; (iii) a primer pair in which the nucleotide sequence of one primer is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7 and the nucleotide sequence of the other primer is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9; and (iv) a primer group of three primers in which the nucleotide sequence of one primer is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7, the nucleotide sequence of one primer is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, and the nucleotide sequence of one primer is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9; under conditions in which the primers in said primer pair or primer group hybridize to (II) performing an amplification reaction that amplifies, if present, the (III) detecting whether
