FIG. 2.

EKs of representative C. parapsilosis isolates before (B) and after (A) CVC removal from eight patients (patients 10 to 17) with recurrent fungemia. The isolates from patients 10 and 12 had the same karyotypes, and these patients were considered to have relapsing infections caused by the same strain, whereas the isolates from the other patients had different karyotypes, considered to represent different strains. M, S. cerevisiae chromosomal DNA size standards. Sizes are shown in kilobases on the left.
