Microsatellite typing of Aspergillus fumigatus isolates recovered from deep organ samples of patients with invasive aspergillosis

Microsatellite typing was used to analyze 41 Aspergillus fumigatus isolates from 9 patients with proven invasive aspergillosis hospitalized in 2 different centers. No strains were shared between patients. For 8 of 9 patients, a single genotype was found for the isolates recovered from all anatomic sites involved

High resolution genotyping of Aspergillus fumigatus isolates recovered from chronically colonised patients with cystic fibrosis

A series of 256 Aspergillus fumigatus isolates, recovered from eight patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), were genotyped using microsatellite-based typing. Only a limited number of genotypes were shared between patients and co-colonisation with multiple strains was indicated for all patients. Additionally, some genotypes were isolated recurrently, indicating that they are capable of prolonged colonisation
