  ABSTRACT: Recently, the incidence of Candida infections has substantially increased.Conventional identification methods for Candida species are technically difficult to conduct and cannot accurately distinguish each species. The purpose of thepresent study was to design primers to identify and detect simultaneously eight medically important Candida species using one-step multiplex PCR.PCR primers were designed based on partial sequences of intergenic spacer (IGS) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes of eight medically important Candida species. These primers were able to distinguish each Candida species and did not display cross-reactivity with representative Candida species other than the eight Candida species. Moreover, our developed one-step multiplex PCR method is accurate, specific, cost-effective, time-saving, and worked without requiring DNA extraction.
