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.
