1. A method of specifically detecting the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of DNA of Candida tropicalis which is a pathogenic fungus, comprising:
- (i) reacting a sample with a probe carrier comprising the following three probes (A) to (C), which are immobilized on a carrier as arranged at intervals, under stringent conditions; and
(ii) detecting a reaction intensity of each probe on the probe carrier reacted with a nucleic acid contained in the sample to detect the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of DNA of Candida tropicalis that reacts with all of the three probes;
(A) a probe consisting of a base sequence represented by accgccagaggttataactaaaccaaa (SEQ ID NO.
1) or the fully complementary sequence thereof;
(B) a probe consisting of a base sequence represented by gagcaatacgctaggtttgtttgaaagaa (SEQ ID NO.
2) or the fully complementary sequence thereof; and
(C) a probe consisting of a base sequence represented by acgcttattttgctagtggccacc (SEQ ID NO.
3) or the fully complementary sequence thereof.

Abstract
A probe, a set of probes, and a probe carrier on which the probe or the set of probes is immobilized, are provided for classification of fungus species. The probe or the set of probes is capable of collectively detecting fungus of the same species and distinguishingly detecting those fungus from fungus of other species. The probe is an oligonucleotide probe for detecting a pathogenic fungus DNA and includes at least one of base sequences of SEQ ID NOS. 1 to 3 and mutated sequences thereof.
