Abstract

By using RAPD method, a total of 28 primers were screened for discrimination among Candida albicans isolates. Seven of these primers were selected because they presented reproducible DNA banding patterns for all the strains of C. albicans. The same genetic profile was obtained by RAPD method using OPG 14 (5’-GGATGAGACC-3’) while the OPG 17 (5’- ACGACCGACA-3’) demonstrated capacity to differentiate the isolates of C. albicans in 4 genotypes. According to the results obtained, we concluded that by using these primers, the RAPD analysis may be useful in providing genotypic characteristics for C. albicans in epidemiological investigation.
