Characterization of a Novel Gene for Strain Typing Reveals Substructuring of Aspergillus fumigatus across North America
9 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Fifty-five epidemiologically linked Aspergillus fumigatus isolates obtained from six nosocomial outbreaks of invasive aspergillosis were subtyped by sequencing the polymorphic region of the gene encoding a putative cell surface protein, Afu3g08990 (denoted as CSP). Comparative sequence analysis showed that genetic diversity was generated in the coding region of this gene by both tandem repeats and point...
