Abstract excerpt
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was used to characterize the genetic profiles of 52 Candida tropicalis isolates collected from 10 hospitals in Taiwan. A total of 33 diploid sequence types (DSTs) were differentiated among the 52 isolates and all were novel to the Internet C. tropicalis DST database (http://pubmlst.org/ctropicalis/). Eleven (33.3%) of the 33 DSTs could be assigned to 3 major clonal clusters (1-3)...
