Abstract excerpt
Eleven reference strains of Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii were analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) patterns using three oligo primers. Three major RAPD pattern profiles (profiles I, II and III) were identified with A-1 oligo primer. Each profile was found to relate to a geog...
