Patent ID: 8030001

Claim:
A detecting method to detect a nucleic acid of Candida albicans which is a pathogenic fungus comprising the steps of: (i) reacting a sample with a probe carrier on which at least two probes selected from the following (A) to (D) are separately placed under a stringent condition; and (ii) detecting a reaction intensity of probes on the probe carrier reacted with a nucleic acid contained in the sample and judging the presence of Candida albicans in the sample if the nucleic acid reacts with all of the at least two probes selected from (A) to (D): (A) a probe consisting of the nucleotide sequence of tctttgaaacaaacttgctttggcgg (SEQ ID NO. 1) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; (B) a probe consisting of the nucleotide sequence of ccgccagaggtctaaacttacaacc (SEQ ID NO. 2) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; (C) a probe consisting of the nucleotide sequence of gacggtagtggtaaggcgggat (SEQ ID NO. 3) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; and (D) a probe consisting of the nucleotide sequence of ggcggtaacgtccaccacgtat (SEQ ID NO. 4) or the fully complementary sequence thereof.
