Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2698476A1] The present invention relates to a method and means for determining pathogenic fungi in a sample material, for example blood. With said method, the bacterial DNA is first enriched from the total DNA of the sample material. The enriched DNA is then amplified using specific primer pairs. The detection of the obtained amplified products enables the exact identification of the bacteria and fungi present in the sample material and the resistances thereof. The methods and means according to the invention allow for an early detection of inflammatory diseases, particularly with non-proven infection (SIRS), and of infectious diseases like sepsis, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and endocarditis.
