  • Candida mycosis is a life-threatening infection in immunocompressed hosts, e.g. Bone marrow or organ transplant recipients, in patients with extensive chemotherapy and in AIDS patients.
  • systemic Candida infections are observed in patients after extensive surgical interventions or after burns, with intensive antibiotic therapy, indwelling catheters, patients with diabetes mellitus and in older patients; see Wenzel, R.P., 1995, "Nosocomial candidemia: risk factors and attributable mortality", Clin.

  • nucleic acid molecules are hereby recorded in which the sequences listed in the sequence listing are part of a longer sequence. Even if individual nucleotide exchanges are carried out for the sequences listed in the sequence listing, these molecules usually retain. their highly selective affinity for fungal DNA. Consequently, a nucleic acid molecule characterized in this way is also the subject of the present invention.
  • a nucleic acid molecule with one of the sequences SEQ ID Nos. 1 to 10 is particularly suitable for the detection of a general one Fungal infection.
  • This nucleic acid molecule binds to the 18S rRNA gene, which is highly conserved throughout the mushroom kingdom.

Based on the above, it is particularly preferred to use the nucleic acid molecule according to the invention for the detection of fungi, preferably in clinical material.
  • the detection of fungi takes place via the amplification of a fungus DNA segment by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in which the primers of a PCR primer pair have nucleotide sequences in a combination which is selected from the group: SEQ ID Nos. 1 and 2; SEQ ID Nos. 3 and 4; SEQ ID Nos. 7 and 8; SEQ ID Nos. 9 and 10 from the enclosed sequence listing; two sequences that bind to those sequences to which SEQ ID No. 1 and 2 or SEQ ID 3 and 4 or SEQ ID No. 7 and 8 or SEQ ID No. 9 and 10 also bind.
  • PCR polymerase chain reaction
  • segments of fungal DNA which is often only present in small amounts in clinical material are enriched to such an extent that they can be obtained using simple methods, e.g. Ethidium bromide staining after agarose gel electrophoresis can be detected.

  • a general Candida infection for example an invasive candidiasis
  • a general Candida infection is usually diagnosed in the clinic using methods which involve the cultivation of fungal cells. It is particularly problematic here that a result of such a cultivation approach can only be achieved after several days. After this time, it is often too late for effective treatment for Candida infection.
  • Another problem is that Candida As a commensal of human skin, contaminations often lead to cultivation approaches and false-positive results. Even more problematic is the fact that in up to 50 percent of systemic candidiasis cases examined by autopsy, the underlying blood cultures were negative, making this procedure of no diagnostic value. This has led to the widespread opinion among clinicians that invasive Candida infections can generally only be diagnosed via autopsies.
  • the above-mentioned preferred variant of the invention also provides a remedy here, since no cross-reaction of the genus-specific Candida hybridization probe with human nucleic acid is observed. Even the use of the two nucleic acid molecules described in DE 195 30 332 C2 as PCR primers does not enable the detection of a general Candida infection, since DNA of the genera Aspergillus is also amplified by these primers. Furthermore, only five different Candida species have been shown to be detected.
