Chromosomal banding patterns of the human isolates revealed 5-7 bands, ranging from 1.3 to 10 Mbp in size. Strain G186B showed five bands of approximately 1.1, 2.8, 3.3, 5.4 and 9.7 Mbp. Thirteen different electrokaryotypes were identified, indicating that the genome of H. capsulatum varies widely in nature, as observed previously in laboratory strains. No definite association was found between electrokaryotype and geographical or clinical source. |
