How does RAPD help in identifying Candida parapsilosis?
RAPD, or random amplified polymorphic DNA, is a molecular biology technique used to identify genetic variations within a species. When applied to Candida parapsilosis, RAPD can help distinguish between different strains of the yeast by generating unique DNA fingerprints based on variations in the genetic code of each strain. This can be particularly useful in identifying specific strains of Candida parapsilosis that may be resistant to certain antifungal treatments, allowing for more targeted and effective treatment strategies.
