Molecular typing ofCryptococcus neoformansby PCR fingerprinting, in comparison with serotyping and Fourier transform infrared-spectroscopy-based phenotyping
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Molecular typing by PCR fingerprinting using the single primer (GACA)4 was performed with 110 isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans. Seventy clinical isolates of C. neoformans var. neoformans from Germany (n = 52) and Africa (n = 18) were included. Of these, serotype A (C. neoformans var. grubii) accounted for 47 isolates, serotype D for 12 and serotype AD for 11. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was...
