Restriction analysis of β-tubulin gene for differentiation of the common pathogenic dermatophytes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:DRI cotinine assay is suitable only for screening for cotinine in urine specimens. We studied the reliability of DRI cotinine semiquantitative values by comparing them with the cotinine concentration obtained with a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. METHODS:Semiquantitative c...
