Abstract excerpt
Pneumocystis jirovecii is an opportunistic respiratory pathogen causing Pneumocystis pneumonia (PcP) in immunocompromised patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of P. jirovecii isolates (n: 84) obtained from PcP patients using multilocus sequencing method based on mt26S, SOD, and CYB loci. Among the 84 clinical samples that were positive for P. jirovecii DNA, 31 (36.90%) of them...
