Abstract excerpt

A high biodiversity of Cryptococcus neoformans isolates is known to exist in some Brazilian urban areas, raising the possibility that patients may encounter multiple inoculum sources in their daily life. C. neoformans isolates from two groups of AIDS patients with cryptococcosis from Rio de Janeiro were studied by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fingerprinting and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)...
