Abstract excerpt
The application of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technology for strain delineation of medically important yeasts has proved to be a valuable tool in clinico-epidemiological studies of Candida species. Candida parapsilosis, a form species of the fungi imperfecti, is an emerging pathogen gaining recognition as an opportunistic agent, especially in the immunocompromised. Therefore, 15 clinical isolates...
