Comparison of PCR- and HinfI Restriction Endonuclease-Based Methods for Typing of Candida krusei Isolates

摘要

We compared HinfI restriction endonuclease-based analysis of genomic DNA with a PCR-based method for molecular typing of 90 Candida krusei isolates from 17 geographically related patients. Strain groupings by these methods were the same for 89 of 90 isolates. Ten of 17 patients were infected with related strains of C. krusei.
