Microsatellite polymorphism in the promoter sequence of the elongation factor 3 gene of Candida albicans as the basis for a typing system
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
The polymorphism of a TTC/TTTC microsatellite in the promoter sequence of the elongation factor 3 gene of Candida albicans was investigated by PCR. One primer was fluorescein labeled, and PCR signals were read with an automatic sequencer. Twenty-nine reference strains and 31 independent clinical isolates were studied. Eleven different alleles were identified, giving 16 different profiles among the 60 strains...
