NUCLEIC ACID AND AMINO ACID SEQUENCES OF HEMOGLOBIN-RESPONSE GENES IN CANDIDA ALBICANS AND THE USE OF REAGENTS DERIVED FROM THESE SEQUENCES IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF DISSEMINATED CANDIDA ALBICANS INFECTION

   
   

Three hemoglobin-response genes in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans are disclosed. The expression of these genes is specifically induced when the organism is exposed to hemoglobin during disseminated infections. The invention relates to the nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of these hemoglobin-response genes. The invention also relates to diagnostic methods, kits and compositions which employ the nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of the invention.
