Identification by Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA of a Common Molecular Type of Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans in Patients with AIDS or Other Immunosuppressive Conditions
1 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
Sixty clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans were analyzed by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) using 12- to 22-mer primers in pairs. Five major profiles, which clearly distinguished between serotypes A (profiles I-III), AD (profile IV), and D (profile V), were identified. Forty-two of 58 serotype A isolates were assigned to profile I, 13 to profile II, and 3 to profile III....
