Abstract excerpt
Pneumocystis jirovecii (P. jirovecii) is an atypical fungus that can cause severe interstitial pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. In this study, mitochondrial large subunit ribosomal RNA (mtLSU-rRNA) and dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) gene polymorphism in P. jirovecii isolates were investigated in Western Turkey's Izmir province and its surroundings. For this purpose, a total of 157 P. jirovecii isolates...
