“…Most of our biopsies contained many hyphae that could have increased the PCR yield. However, in some cases, due to the presence of PCR inhibitors in the extracted DNA and lower concentrations of fungal DNA, there was no PCR yield . In our study, to validate the DNA extraction and PCR assay, they were repeated with 1‐2 cut pieces.…”

“…Studies have shown that molecular identification of mucormycosis is accurate, using the ITS region of the ribosomal DNA as a first-line sequencing target for the identification of Zygomycete organisms in pure culture 117 . When no culture is available, PCR assays on fresh or FFPE tissues can identify and discriminate between agents of aspergillosis and mucormycosis 118 123 . These techniques are not yet standardized but provide a promising tool for the identification of fungal agents.…”

“…Deste modo, a aplicação da PCR em tempo real (qPCR) é atrativa como escolha para o diagnóstico clínico, não somente por fornecer os resultados em menor tempo, mas também por ser técnica com sensibilidade elevada e de "sistema fechado", o que minimiza possíveis contaminações externas (Salehi et al, 2016). (Bialek et al, 2005;Dannaoui et al, 2010;Muñoz-Cadavid et al, 2010;Buitrago et al, 2013;Frickmann et al, 2015;Drogari-Apiranthitou et al, 2016). (Lau et al, 2007;Gade et al, 2017).…”

“…Assim, amplificações de sequências gênicas de tamanho abaixo de 300 pares de base são as mais adequadas para serem detectadas pelas técnicas moleculares (Hata et al, 2008 (Bialek et al, 2005;Buitrago et al, 2013;Drogari-Apiranthitou et al, 2016). Por outro lado, as amplificações pelos ensaios de PCR para a detecção de Fusarium spp.…”
