Abstract excerpt
Cunninghamella bertholletiae and Rhizopus microsporus are clinically important Mucorales that frequently exhibit mixed peaks in chromatograms from conventional Sanger sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Intragenomic ITS heterogeneity has been reported in R. microsporus but has not yet been characterized in Cunninghamella species. This study investigated ITS patterns in nine C....
