Abstract
Disclosed are oligonucleotides useful in methods for determining whether a sample contains, a causative agent for human cryptococcosis. These oligonucleotides, which have nucleotide sequences derived from a coding segment of the gene encoding the fungal specific transcription factor gene in, are useful as forward and reverse primers for a polymerase chain reaction using nucleic acids from a biological sample as templates, and as probes for detecting any resultant amplicon. Detection of an amplicon indicates the sample contains. Real-time PCR and detection using florescence resonance energy transfer is disclosed.
