Journal ArticleDOI
Polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting in fungi using single primers specific to minisatellites and simple repetitive DNA sequences: strain variation in Cryptococcus neoformans
Wieland Meyer,Thomas G. Mitchell +1 more
TL;DR: Sequence analysis of the cloned bands obtained by PCR fingerprinting indicated that if the same or extremely similar, inversely oriented tandem repeats are located close to each other, when only one repeat‐specific primer is used in the PCR, the region between these repeats is amplified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology: surveillance of fungal infections.
TL;DR: Investigations of nosocomial and community outbreaks of fungal infection have resulted in a better understanding of the sources and routes of transmission of these diseases, and of the risk factors for infection, which has led to more effective prevention and control strategies.
Book ChapterDOI
Oligonucleotide fingerprinting using simple repeat motifs: a convenient, ubiquitously applicable method to detect hypervariability for multiple purposes.
Jörg T. Epplen,Hubert Ammer,Conny Epplen,C. Kammerbauer,R. Mitreiter,L. Roewer,W. Schwaiger,Viktor Steimle,Hans Zischler,Ekkehard D. Albert,A.

TL;DR: It is suggested here that due to the ubiquitous interspersion of their targets, short probes for simple repeat sequences are especially useful tools for ordering genomic cosmid, yeast artificial chromosome and phage banks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population-based surveillance for scedosporiosis in Australia: epidemiology, disease manifestations and emergence of Scedosporium aurantiacum infection
Christopher H. Heath,Monica A. Slavin,Tania C. Sorrell,Rosemary Handke,Azian Harun,Michael Phillips,Quoc Nguyen,Laurence Delhaes,David Ellis,Wieland Meyer,Sharon C.-A. Chen,Sharon C.-A. Chen +11 more
TL;DR: The first description of clinical features associated with Scedosporium aurantiacum infection was given in this paper, where a population-wide population-based surveillance for scedosporiosis identified 180 cases, with 118 cases of colonization and 62 cases of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of ribosomal RNA and actin gene sequences for the identification of ascomycetous yeasts
TL;DR: D1/D2 LSU sequences are not specific enough to identify closely related taxa and the actin gene is a better marker in these cases.
