FIG. 1 Restriction endonuclease patterns of HinfI-digested DNA obtained after agarose gel electrophoresis. Each pattern corresponds to Candida krusei isolates from patients A, B, C and D (upper case letters), from different biological products (BC, blood cultures; CVC, central venous catheter; BS, bronchial secretions; S, stools), and to C. krusei isolates from the room environment of patients A and C (AE and CE, respectively); M, molecular weight marker (1 kb DNA ladder; Metabion).
