Pneumocystis carinii: what is it, exactly?

Clinical microbiology reviews - 1 Oct 1996

Stringer J R

Abstract excerpt

The identity of Pneumocystis carinii has been uncertain for many years. Until recently, it was widely regarded to be a protozoan because it does not grow in culture and is not susceptible to antifungal drugs. Although these and a number of other phenotypic characteristics of P. carinii differ from those of typical fungi, analysis of DNA sequences has shown that P. carinii is a member of the fungal lineage of...
