Abstract
The ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer sequences of 13 unrelated Enc ephalitozoon intestinalis isolates obtained from human immunodeficiency vir us (HIV)-infected patients with intestinal microsporidiosis were analyzed b y gene amplification and DNA sequencing. Among these isolates, we found onl y one genetic lineage which suggests that E. intestinalis may have a clonal distribution in HIV-infected patients.
