Abstract

The current status of molecular biological methods to control mycoses was described. New tools for detecting of specific fungal DNA by reaction at a constant temperature with Loop-mediated isothermal amplification of DNA (©LAMP, Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd.), and for strain typing by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) will greatly aid in managing complex fungal infection.
