UPGMA clustering of C. krusei strains based on normalized McRAPD data. Clustering with empirically defined genotypes is demonstrated in part (A) and corresponding normalized melting curves are shown in part (B). All strains of the respective species included in the study are clustered and plotted; strains belonging to a specific genotype are highlighted by specific ground tint color in the dendrogram corresponding with the same color of curves in accompanying normalized melting curve plot and derivative plots. One strain not assigned to a specific genotype is not color-coded in dendrogram and its melting curve is plotted in black. This strain was later re-identified as C. parapsilosis.
