Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Fungal keratitis caused by Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus) can result in severe inflammation and corneal stromal melting, leading to visual impairment. This study aimed to identify virulent genes correlated with the severity of A. flavus keratitis using whole-genome sequencing. Methods: Whole-genome sequencing of 21 clinical A. flavus strains from cornea was performed to elucidate the pathogenesis of A....
