Inter-Specimen Imbalance of Mitochondrial Gene Copy Numbers Predicts Clustering of Pneumocystis jirovecii Isolates in Distinct Subgroups

Inter-Specimen Imbalance of Mitochondrial Gene Copy Numbers Predicts Clustering of Pneumocystis jirovecii Isolates in Distinct Subgroups

The molecular detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii is an important therapy-relevant tool in microbiological diagnostics. However, the quantification of this pathogen in the past has revealed discordant results depending on the target gene. As the clinical variety of P. jirovecii infections ranges bet...
