Genetic Variation in Pneumocystis carinii Isolates from Different Geographic Regions: Implications for Transmission

Genetic Variation in Pneumocystis carinii Isolates from Different Geographic Regions: Implications for Transmission

To study transmission patterns of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in persons with AIDS, we evaluated P. carinii isolates from patients in five U.S. cities for variation at two independent genetic loci, the mitochondrial large subunit rRNA and dihydropteroate synthase. Fourteen unique multilocus...
