title: Preliminary characterization and grouping of Candida species by numerical analysis of protein profiles obtained by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
abstract: Whole-cell proteins from isolates of five Candida species (Candida albicans, Candida krusei, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis and Candida guilliermondii) were separated by SDS-PAGE and the profiles obtained were converted into a binary data matrix that produced a cophenetic correlation phenogram. The analysis of the phenogram allowed detection of the cophenetic correlation levels existing among these species.
