Abstract
The present invention provides novel methods and materials for detecting the presence of a fungus in a biological sample. The inventive methods and materials exploit the fact that the amino acid sequence of the saccharopine dehydrogenase molecule is highly conserved in fungi. Inventive hybridization probes, nucleic acids, PCR primers, antibodies, epitopes, reagents and methods are provided.
