a

Sequences are aligned against the 35-bp signature of the most common C. albicans variant (C. albicans 1). A total of 213 isolates (C. albicans), 25 isolates (C. dubliniensis), and 15 isolates (C. africana) were subjected to pyrosequencing.

b

Bold type indicates totally conserved nucleotides. Lowercase letters indicate positions in which the sequence differs from that of C. albicans 1.

c

Identity is given as the number of identical bases compared to the signature sequence of C. albicans 1.

d

Percentage of isolates of a given species with that particular signature sequence. ND, not determined; NA, not applicable.
