AmpliTest Trichophyton spp.
(Real Time PCR)
BAC39-100
Dermatophytes from Trichophyton genus cause mycoses in both animals and humans. These dermatophytes can be divided into two groups: anthropophilic fungi, which can spread from human to human, and zoophilic fungi, which cause zoonotic infections. Trichophyton genus is one of the main cause of human hair, skin and nail infections. The most common clinical forms of zoonotic infections are deep mycosis of scalp and chin and mycosis of smooth skin.
AmpliTest Trichophyton spp. (Real Time PCR) test is designed to detect DNA sequences specific for Trichopython genus in DNA samples obtained from tissues of infected animal or human. The Real Time PCR reaction is a duplex-type. Fungal DNA is detected in the FAM channel. The second channel (HEX ) serves for detection of the internal control. Controls included into the test (rekombinant DNAs) enable control of the correct course of the Real Time PCR reaction.
