Epidemiologic study by DNA typing of a Candida albicans outbreak in heroin addicts
Year: 1991
Type: article
Abstract: The epidemiology of an outbreak of Candida endophthalmitis in heroin addicts was studied by DNA typing. Although one biotype was prevalent, the 13 isolates of Candida albicans from seven of the patients were placed into six separate groups by DNA type. Thus, the outbreak of candidiasis was not, as had been concluded from biotyping, due to a C. albicans strain of common origin.
