Abstract excerpt
Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans can be subdivided into six genotypes (VN1-VN6) based on different combinations of four major bands (420, 475, 540 and 800 bp) obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fingerprinting using the (GACA)4 primer. The aim of this study was to identify specific primers able to amplify these bands. A modified PCR-based sequencing strategy was adopted to overcome the limitations...
