Abstract excerpt
The opportunistic fungal pathogen Pneumocystis carinii sp. f. hominis is a frequent cause of pneumonia in the immunocompromised host. Analysis of genetic variation among isolates of P. carinii sp. f. hominis from 12 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons with single and multiple epis...
