Based on sequence variation of the glycoprotein B (gB) gene, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strains can be classified into four gB genotypes. In a previous study of bone marrow transplant recipients, infection with the gB type 1 correlated with a more favorable clinical outcome than infection with the

## Abstract Although most genes are highly conserved among strains of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), several are unusually variable. By analyzing the sequence of two variable genes (__UL146__ and __UL74__) amplified directly from whole blood DNA extracts, multiple HCMV strains were detected in blood
## Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, such as renal transplant recipients. Analysis of the gene encoding the envelope glycoprotein B (gB) showed that clinical isolates adopted one of the sequence configurations, permittin
