Polymerase chain reaction fingerprints generated with the primer M13 (3A) and URA5 gene restriction frgement length polymorphism (RFLP) profiles identified via double digest of the gene with Sau96I and HhaI (3B) obtained from the Spanish clinical, veterinary, and environmental Cryptococcus neoformans isolates (VNIII correspond to the seven-band URA5 RFLP pattern and VNIII* correspond to the six-band URA5 RFLP pattern).
