Patent ID: 8530163

Claim:
A method of detecting the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of a DNA of Candida dubliniensis in a sample by using a probe carrier, comprising: (i) reacting the sample with the probe carrier, wherein the probe carrier has immobilized thereon a plurality of probes comprising the following probes (1) to (4): (1) a probe consisting of tgtgttttgttctggacaaacttgctttg (SEQ ID NO. 1) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; (2) a probe consisting of ctgccgccagaggacataaacttac (SEQ ID NO. 2) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; (3) a probe consisting of tagtggtataaggcggagatgcttga (SEQ ID NO. 3) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; and (4) a probe consisting of tctggcgtcgcccattttattcttc (SEQ ID NO. 4) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; (ii) detecting a reaction intensity between one or more of probes (1) to (4) and a nucleic acid contained in the sample; and (iii) detecting the DNA of Candida dubliniensis in the sample based on the reaction intensity between one or more of probes (1) to (4) and the nucleic acid contained in the sample.
