73962-3
LaboratoryCandida sp rRNA [Identifier] by FISH in Positive blood culture
Definition
Candida species, including C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata and/or Candida krusei, commonly isolated from human blood cultures can be detected by qualitative, multicolor nucleic acid hybridization assays. This code is based on, but not limited in use to, a submission for AdvanDx's Yeast Traffic Light PNA FISH assay. The test is done on blood cultures that have positive growth of an organism, not directly from a blood sample.
