The epidemiological features of P. marneffeiinfection in AIDS patients in Guangdong province remain unclear so far. This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity within a population of 163 P. mameffei isolates obtained from AIDS patients and search for the dominant clinical strains in Guanqdong province.展开更多
