Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis for rapid typing of Candida glabrata.

ABSTRACT: A multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) using six microsatellite markers was assessed in 127 Candida glabrata isolates. Thirty-seven different genotypes, stable both in vitro and in vivo, were observed. The highest discriminatory power (D = 0.902) was reached by using only four markers. MLVA seems to be relevant for C. glabrata typing.
