Internal Transcribed Spacer Region Sequence Heterogeneity in <i>Rhizopus microsporus</i> : Implications for Molecular Diagnosis in Clinical Microbiology Laboratories
12 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Although internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) sequence heterogeneity has been reported in a few fungal species, it has very rarely been reported in pathogenic fungi and has never been described in Mucorales, causes of the highly fatal mucormycosis.
