Patent ID: 8404447

Claim:
A method of specifically detecting the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) region of a DNA of Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii which is a pathogenic fungus, comprising: (i) reacting a sample with a probe carrier under stringent conditions, wherein the probe carrier has immobilized thereon a probe set comprising two probes arranged at an interval, the two probes consisting of the following base sequences (A) and (B) respectively to specifically detect the DNA of Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii: (A) tctctttagtggctcaacgctgga (SEQ ID NO. 1) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; and (B) ggacagacgcaaaaaaattctttcagaag (SEQ ID NO. 2) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; and (ii) detecting a reaction intensity of each probe on the probe carrier reacted with a nucleic acid contained in the sample to detect the DNA of Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii that reacts with both of the two probes.
