In the present work we further investigated the applicability of RAPD in revealing important intrinsic and extrinsic features of this fungus associated with geographical origin, time of isolation, source of clinical specimen, clinical forms of human disease and also in vitro and in vivo susceptibility to antimicrobial and antifungal drugs. The RAPD patterns allowed us to distinguish all of the analyzed strains, which included 26 clinical isolates, 2 animal isolates, and 1 environmental isolate of<jats:italic>P. brasiliensis<\/jats:italic>obtained from different geographic regions, confirming the strong discriminating power of this technique. A phenetic tree, build from the RAPD data, showed that although the two nonclinical Brazilian strains were set together the majority of the clinical Brazilian strains were randomly distributed through different sub-branches of a major cluster without any correlation to any of the parameters analyzed. A second major cluster, however, has grouped isolates from Mato Grosso and Roraima (Brazil) that not only were susceptible in vitro to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole but also produced a good in vivo response. These results open new vistas for epidemiological and clinical studies of<jats:italic>P. brasiliensis.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.41.7.2849-2854.2003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,3]],"date-time":"2003-07-03T19:05:48Z","timestamp":1057259148000},"page":"2849-2854","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA as a Valuable Tool for Epidemiological Studies of<i>Paracoccidioides brasiliensis<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Rosane Christine","family":"Hahn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Microbiologia, Instituto de Cie\u0302ncias Biolo\u0301gicas Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Belo Horizonte"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andre\u0301a Mara","family":"Macedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Bioqui\u0301mica e Imunologia Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cor Jesus Fernandes","family":"Fontes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nu\u0301cleo de Doenc\u0327as Infecciosas e Tropicais, Tro\u0301pica Faculdade de Cie\u0302ncias Me\u0301dicas, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso Cuiaba\u0301, Mato Grosso, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Renata Dias","family":"Batista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Microbiologia, Instituto de Cie\u0302ncias Biolo\u0301gicas Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Belo Horizonte"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Niriana Lara","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Microbiologia, Instituto de Cie\u0302ncias Biolo\u0301gicas Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Belo Horizonte"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ju\u0301nia Soares","family":"Hamdan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Microbiologia, Instituto de Cie\u0302ncias Biolo\u0301gicas Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Belo Horizonte"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.30.11.2991-2993.1992"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","first-page":"11","volume":"10","year":"1990","unstructured":"Borges, M.
