Identification of Medically Relevant <i>Trichosporon</i> Species Based on Sequences of Internal Transcribed Spacer Regions and Construction of a Database for <i>Trichosporon</i> Identification

Abstract excerpt

The nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 and 2 regions in the rRNA gene were determined by directly sequencing PCR-amplified fragments for all of the species (17 species and five varieties) in the genus Trichosporon. Comparative sequence analysis suggests that six medically relevant species, T. asahii, T. asteroides, T. cutaneum, T. inkin, T. mucoides, and T. ovoides, can be readily...
