title: Molecular probe for typing strains of Candida albicans.
abstract: A method for separating strains of Candida albicans into nine possible groups was devised by using a cDNA probe for enolase and Southern blot analysis. Twenty-three isolates of C. albicans were found to be distributed among eight of the groups. Fifteen isolates from a single hospital segregated into four of the groups.
