In order to avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, it is recommended to distribute the content in different aliquots. • Keep all reagents in the darkness. Additional equipment and material required • DNA extraction kit • Real-time PCR instrument (thermocycler) (Attached I) • Centrifuge for 1.5 mL tubes • Vortexer • Micropipettes (1-20 µL, 20-200 µL) • Filter tips Summary Candida albicans is the most common human opportunistic fungal pathogen. Candida albicans can be isolated from the gastrointestinal tract, and oral and vaginal mucosa of many healthy individuals. Although, a number of fungal species belonging to the genus Candida can cause acute vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), Candida albicans is the most prevalent etiological agent, particularly for the most severe chronic condition known as recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC).
