C. auris qPCR and Candida Pan/auris LAMP Assay Performance Evaluation

Analytical performance evaluation data for two diagnostic assays targeting Candida auris. The dataset likely contains results from testing cultured C. auris DNA and contrived specimens spiked with the fungus. It was authored by Woong Sik Jang and last updated on April 24, 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare the analytical sensitivity of qPCR and LAMP assays based on the described performance evaluation
• Validate diagnostic methods for Candida auris detection using the described contrived specimens
• Benchmark assay performance metrics for fungal pathogen diagnostics based on the described test results

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0
• The dataset is focused on a specific, clinically relevant fungal pathogen (Candida auris)
• The file format (XLS) suggests structured tabular data

Limitations

• The dataset is very small (17.5 KB), indicating limited scope
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
