Abstract
Clinical isolates of Sporothrix schenckii were investigated for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) types using restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns with HaeIII. The 62isolates in South Africa comprised Types 3 (9.7%), 4 (1.6%), 11 (9.7%), 17 (77.4%) and 23 (1.6%) while the 23 Australian isolates comprised Types 3 (26.0%), 4 (56.5%), 7 (8.6%) and 21 (8.6%). In a phylogenetic tree based on the sequence divergence of mtDNA, the mtDNA types were clustered into two groups, A and B. The results suggested that isolates in South Africa mainly belong to Group A and isolates in Australia mainly belong to Group B.
