Selective expression of Pneumocystis antigens in different patients during a suspected outbreak of Pneumocystis pneumonia

ABSTRACT The fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii causes severe pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals. It harbors a system of surface antigenic variation involving six families of major surface glycoproteins (Msg). We determined the repertoires of P. jirovecii msg genes of the most abundant family-I p...
