title: [Karyotype analysis of Candida species by PFGE and its use in classicification].
abstract: Electrophoretic karyotype in 7 medically important Candida species was analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The chromosomal DNAs of the Candida species were separated into 4-10 bamds ranging in size from 0.5-2.8 Mb. These patterns were species-specific, so the electrophoretic karyotype can be used as a genotype basis for classification and identification of Candida species.
