Spectrum of<i>Fusarium</i>infections in tropical dermatology evidenced by multilocus sequencing typing diagnostics
22 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Fusarium species are emerging causative agents of superficial, cutaneous and systemic human infections. In a study of the prevalence and genetic diversity of 464 fungal isolates from a dermatological ward in Thailand, 44 strains (9.5%) proved to belong to the genus Fusarium. Species identification was based on sequencing a portion of translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α), rDNA internal transcribed spacer...
