Abstract excerpt
Encephalitozoon hellem is a microsporidian species responsible for opportunistic infections in AIDS patients. Use of a novel chitinase-based method allowed unsheared chromosomal DNA to be recovered from eleven E. hellem isolates derived from three geographic regions. All isolates were typed by 18S rDNA sequencing, which showed that they belonged to intemal transcribed spacer type 1. After ethidium bromide...
