concordance of clinical and environmental isolates of cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii by random amplification of polymorphic dna analysis and pcr fingerprinting. | sixty-one clinical and forty-nine environmental isolates of cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii from australia and the united states were analyzed by random amplification of polymorphic dna (rapd), using 12- to 22-mer primers in pairs, and/or pcr fingerprinting with a single primer derived from the microsatellite core sequence of the wild-type phage m13 (5' gagggtggcggttct 3'). three major genetic profiles were identified by both typing techniques. a single rapd profile (vgi) predominated among ... | 1996 | 8727912 |
