Abstract excerpt
Clinical isolates of the fungal respiratory and systemic pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum have been placed in several different classes by using genomic restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), but in general have not been distinguished further. We report here that a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based DNA fingerprinting method that has been termed arbitrary primer or random amplified polymorphic DNA...
