Five subgroups of <i>Blastocystis hominis</i> isolates from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients revealed by restriction site analysis of PCR‐amplified 16S‐like rDNA

Abstract excerpt

DNA polymorphism of Blastocystis hominis isolates was examined by the amplification of a gene fragment coding for the 16S-like rDNA. Using identical primers, fragments of approximately 850 bp were amplified from 110 B. hominis isolates and fragments of 1.1 kbp were amplified from 48 isolates. Digestion of the amplification products with the restriction enzymes HinfI, RsaI, and AluI revealed different profiles for...
