Abstract excerpt
There is increasing molecular and antigenic evidence that Pneumocystis carinii organisms isolated from humans, ferrets, and rats are different species. In contrast, little is known about the extent of genetic diversity among P. carinii strains found within a single mammalian species. In the present study, electrophoretic karyotypes were obtained from P. carinii prepared from 10 chronically immunosuppressed rat...
