Genomic Analysis of <i>Blastocystis hominis</i> Strains Isolated from Two Long-Term Health Care Facilities
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
The genotype Blastocystis hominis is highly polymorphic. Therefore, a genetic marker would be a powerful tool for the identification or classification of B. hominis subtypes and could be used as a means to resolve the transmission route or origin of the parasite. To this end, 32 B. hominis isolates were collected from patients and/or staff members of two long-term health care facilities (facilities A and B), and...
