Abstract
A discriminating fingerprinting system is described for Cryptococcus n eoformans isolates in which random amplification of polymorphic DNA by the polymerase chain reaction is achieved with a single short primer, 5'-GCGCACGG-3'. DNA from 12 isolates was examined and gave rise to 12 distinct fingerprints.
