Significant discrepancy between real-time PCR identifi cation and hospital identifi cation of C. albicans from Lebanese patients
Background: The fungus C. albicans is among the leading agents causing death in immunocompromised patients. Most hospitals rely on conventional morphological techniques such as the germ-tube assay and the API system for correct identifi cation. This technique is subjective and hence error prone. Rec...
