Abstract excerpt
Pneumocystis jirovecii is an important opportunistic pathogen that causes severe pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the genetic diversity of P. jirovecii strains by direct sequencing and analysis of the Upstream Conserved Sequence (UCS) region, mitochondrial large-subunit (mtLSU) rRNA and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) genes. We identified the polymorphisms in...
