  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION OF BACTERIA AND FUNGI ASSOCIATED WITH BACTERIAL AND CANDIDA VAGINOSIS
    Publication number: 20220205020
    Abstract: Methods for the rapid detection of the presence or absence of a plurality of Bacterial Vaginosis-related (BV-related) bacteria and/or vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC)-associated Candida in a biological or non-biological sample are described. The methods can include performing an amplifying step, a hybridizing step, and a detecting step. Furthermore, primers and probes targeting specific genes and kits are provided that are designed for the detection of BV-related bacteria and VVC-associated Candida.
