Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In Singapore, an outbreak of fungal keratitis caused by members of the Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) was identified in March 2005 to May 2006 involving 66 patients. Epidemiological investigations have indicated that improper contact lens wear and the use of specific contact lens solutions were risk factors. METHODS: We assessed the genetic diversity of the isolates using AFLP, Rep-PCR, and...
