| Abstract | The objective of the present study was to conduct a comparative genotypic analysis of Candida albicans isolates from the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia to determine whether differences between isolates might be associated with geographic locations. The genotypes of 86 unrelated isolates of C. albicans (from the United States and Europe) and 26 isolates from Singapore were examined by three DNA typing methods. Computer-assisted methods were used to analyze the gel patterns for all isolates. A dendrogram based on the overall similarity of the patterns obtained by restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) with EcoRI clustered the U.S. and European isolates into two major groups (groups A and B). The Singaporean isolates demonstrated unique REA profiles, with nine isolates having both or neither of the REA-characteristic 3.7- and 4.2-kb bands present in groups A and B. By REA profiles, the Singaporean isolates were related to each other with similarity values (S(AB)s) of > 0.80, but only one isolate mixed with the U.S. and European isolates at this S(AB) (an arbitrary threshold for genetic similarity). Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis generated DNA profiles that clustered the C. albicans isolates into approximately the same number of distinct typing groups as REA. However, isolates identical to each other by REA were generally different from each other by RAPD analysis. In a composite dendrogram prepared from the results obtained by RAPD analysis, the isolates from the United States and Europe clustered in major groups with S(AB)s of > 0.85, while Singaporean isolates connected to these clusters at S(AB)s of > or = 0.75. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was less discriminatory, discerning about one-third as many distinct subtypes as REA or RAPD analysis; the Singaporean isolates were distributed randomly with the U.S. and European isolates. These results suggest that a high degree of genetic diversity exists between C. albicans isolates from Southeast Asia and those from the United States and Europe. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
