Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-based fingerprinting of C. orthopsilosis isolates.

An UPGMA-derived dendrogram based on AFLP fingerprints for 19 clinical C. orthopsilosis isolates obtained from 16 patients in Kuwait. The reference C. orthopsilosis strain (ATCC 96139) was also included in AFLP analysis and a clinical C. metapsilosis isolate (Kw164-7/12) was used as an outer group. Similarity is presented in percentages using the scale bar in the upper left corner. The columns after the AFLP patterns represent the isolate number, species name, hospital name, source of the isolates and AFLP and ITS genotypic grouping.
