Widespread occurrence of diverse human pathogenic types of the fungus Fusarium detected in plumbing drains.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Dec 2011

Abstract excerpt

It has been proposed that plumbing systems might serve as a significant environmental reservoir of human-pathogenic isolates of Fusarium. We tested this hypothesis by performing the first extensive multilocus sequence typing (MLST) survey of plumbing drain-associated Fusarium isolates and comparing the diversity observed to the known diversity of clinical Fusarium isolates. We sampled 471 drains, mostly in...
