A transmission map for patients with Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) based on mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit ( mtLSU ) rRNA genotypes. Genotypes were determined by direct sequencing of nucleotides 85 and 248: genotype 1 = 85C/248C, 2 = 85A/248C, 3 = 85T/248C, and 4 = 85C/248T. Patients 49, 58, and 66 with genotype 1 stayed in ward 74 during a similar period, although they did not share the same room. Patient 65, who developed hospital-onset PCP with a mixed mtLSU genotype 1, 2 , stayed in ward 174, in which patient 56 who had a strain with the same mixed genotype was hospitalised. Patients 56 and 65 also did not share the same room
