Abstract

The mode of Pneumocystis carinii transmission is controversial. Recent studies point to exogenous inoculation rather than reactivation, and person-to-person transmission has also been suggested. Comparison of nucleotide sequences of the large-subunit mitochondrial rRNA gene of P. carinii from human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive patients showed strain differences.
