Popis: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) types using restriction patterns with HaeIII were investigated in 21 clinical isolates of Sporothrix schenckii in Costa Rica. Nineteen isolates were found to be a new mtDNA type (Type 14), while the remaining two were Type 3 and Type 6.Based on the phylogeny of 14 mtDNA types constructed by estimating sequence divergences of mtDNA, S. schenckii were clustered into two main groups: Group A and Group B, with Type 14 and Type 3 included in Group A, and Type 6 in Group B. The results suggest that isolates of Group A may exist mainly in Central America including Costa Rica.
