Monitoring spread of Malassezia infections in a neonatal intensive care unit by PCR-mediated genetic typing.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Oct 1994

van Belkum A, Boekhout T, Bosboom R

Abstract excerpt

Malassezia furfur and Malassezia pachydermatis were isolated from newborn children and incubators in a neonatal intensive care unit. To assess whether persistence or frequent import of the organisms was the cause of the elevated incidence, genetic typing of the strains was performed by PCR-mediated DNA fingerprinting. By using PCR primers aimed at repeat consensus motifs, six different genotypes could be detected...
