Strain Typing and Determination of Population Structure ofCandida kruseiby Multilocus Sequence Typing
23 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for Candida krusei was devised, based on sequencing of six gene fragments of the species. The existence of heterozygous results for each of the six fragments sequenced confirms that C. krusei is diploid for at least part of its genome. The C. krusei MLST scheme had a discriminatory index of 0.998, making this system ideal for strain typing of C. krusei clinical isolates....
