COMPOSITIONS TO DETECT CANDIDA ALBICANS NUCLEIC ACID
First Claim
1. A set of oligomers for use in amplifying a Candida albicans 26S rRNA sequence or DNA encoding the 26S rRNA sequence, the set of oligomers comprising first and second amplification oligomers, each of the first and second amplification oligomers being up to 60 bases in length, wherein the first amplification oligomer comprises a target binding region having at least 12 contiguous bases of the base sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 19, the DNA equivalent of SEQ ID NO;
19, or a combination RNA/DNA equivalent of SEQ ID NO;
19.

Abstract
Compositions are disclosed as nucleic acid sequences that may be used as amplification oligomers, including primers, capture probes for sample preparation, and detection probes specific for Candida albicans 26S rRNA sequences or DNA encoding 26S rRNA. Methods are disclosed for detecting the presence of C. albicans in samples by using the disclosed compositions in methods that include in vitro nucleic acid amplification of a 26S rRNA sequence or DNA encoding the 26S rRNA sequence to produce a detectable amplification product.
