The molecular analysis of synonymy among medically important yeasts within the genus Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: Three sets of medically important yeasts, , and , were compared with their putative synonyms ( and , and , respectively) to determine if these synonyms are genetically distinguishable from each other. Pulsed-field electrophoresis and hybridization to species-specific probes were used to accomplish this goal. The species-specific probes for and have been previously described (27A and CT13.8, respectively) whereas the probe for (CK3) was cloned in this study. No distinguishing characteristics between synonyms were identified, thus supporting the current taxonomic treatment of these organisms.
