摘要
Multilocus genotyping was used to compare populations of Candida albicans from oral mucosa and blood. No significant differences in allele frequencies between the two samples were detected, and in a dendrogram of genotypic similarities, genotypes from both types of samples were finely interspersed. This is evidence for widespread distribution of invasive potential.
