Identification of Trichosporon spp. strains by sequencing D1/D2 region and sub-typing by sequencing ribosomal intergenic spacer region of ribosomal DNA.

To re-identify and further group 25 isolates of Trichosporon spp. identified morphologically previously, sequences of D1/D2 region of large subunit (LSU) of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of 25 tested strains for identification and those of ribosomal intergenic space 1 (IGS1) region of 11 strains for subgrouping were detected. The identifications of tested strains were changed except 6 strains.
