Evidence for nosocomial transmission of Candida albicans obtained by Ca3 fingerprinting.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 May 1995

Schmid J, Tay Y P, Wan L, Carr M, Parr D, McKinney W

Abstract excerpt

The moderately repetitive sequence Ca3 was used to fingerprint Candida albicans isolates from 32 patients hospitalized for more than 3 days, 17 recent admissions or outpatients, and 8 recently readmitted patients and 10 commensal isolates from the community in Wellington, New Zealand, plus isolat...
