Patent ID: 8568983

Claim:
A method of specifically detecting the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of DNA of Candida tropicalis which is a pathogenic fungus, comprising: (i) reacting a sample with a probe carrier comprising the following three probes (A) to (C), which are immobilized on a carrier as arranged at intervals, under stringent conditions; 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 internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of DNA of Candida tropicalis that reacts with all of the three probes: (A) a probe consisting of a base sequence represented by accgccagaggttataactaaaccaaa (SEQ ID NO. 1) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; (B) a probe consisting of a base sequence represented by gagcaatacgctaggtttgtttgaaagaa (SEQ ID NO. 2) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; and (C) a probe consisting of a base sequence represented by acgcttattttgctagtggccacc (SEQ ID NO. 3) or the fully complementary sequence thereof.
