A novel denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC)-based technique allows rapid high-resolution analysis of PCR products. We used this technique for unequivocal molecular identification of seven Candida species. We show the application of this PCR/DHPLC approach for direct detection and identification of yeast species from blood cultures and for detection of Candida colonization in the gastrointestinal tract of allogeneic transplant patients.
