Abstract:During an epidemiological survey a potential novel species within the basidiomycetous yeast genus Trichosporon was observed. The clinical strain was obtained from an urine sample taken from a Brazilian kidney transplant recipient. The strain was molecularly identified using the intergenic spacer (IGS1) ribosomal DNA locus and a subsequent phylogenetic analysis showed that multiple strains that were previously reported by other studies shared an identical IGS1-genotype most closely related to that of Trichospor… Show more
