How are Resistant Fungal Strains Identified in Histology?
Histological techniques play a vital role in identifying and studying resistant fungal strains. Special stains such as Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) and Grocott's Methenamine Silver (GMS) are commonly used to highlight fungal elements in tissue sections. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and molecular methods like PCR can also be employed to detect specific fungal species and resistance genes.
