Abstract
Clinically important species of Candida and related organisms were com pared for extent of nucleotide divergence in the 5' end of the large-s ubunit (26S) ribosomal DNA (rDNA) gene;This rDNA region is sufficientl y variable to allow reliable separation of all known clinically signif icant yeast species, Of the 204 described species examined, 21 appeare d to be synonyms of previously described organisms, Phylogenetic relat ionships among the species are presented.
