FIG. 1.

EK of yeast isolates identified as K. ohmeri by using conventional methods (Tables 1 and 2). All strains from six patients (patients 1 to 6) whose isolates were identified as K. ohmeri by ITS2 sequencing and a reference strain (isolate A) had similar major EK bands, suggesting that EK is effective for distinguishing K. ohmeri from other species. Serial isolates from patients 1, 2, and 4 showed one or two differences in banding at sizes greater than 1,600 kb. A, K. ohmeri ATCC 46051. M, Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA concatemers as molecular size markers.
