Invasive fungal infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Over the past
decade there has been a concerted effort to develop reliable methods for the detection of such
infections. In Fungal Diagnostics: Methods and Protocols expert researchers in the field
detail the introduction of new technology into a diagnostic setting include ease of use and
rapid turnaround time without compromising sensitivity and specificity. Focusing specifically
on fungal detection in clinical settings fungal diagnostics including environmental testing
agriculture and food production and veterinary diagnostics. Written in the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology¿ series format chapters include introductions to their respective
topics lists of the necessary materials and reagents step-by-step readily reproducible
laboratory protocols and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical Fungal Diagnostics: Methods and Protocols seeks to aid scientists
into the further study of diagnostic and detection of fungi.
