Multilocus sequence typing for Candida albicans isolates from candidemic patients: comparison with Southern blot hybridization and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We evaluated the efficacy of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) for assessing the genetic relationship among Candida albicans isolates from patients with candidemia in a hospital setting. METHODS: A total of 45 C. albicans isolates from 21 patients with candidemia were analyzed. The MLST results were compared with results obtained by Southern blot hybridization (C1 fingerprinting) and pulsed-field gel...
