1126996174005 A. fumigatus AF210 AF210-F-ILI2-01 Study
Aspergillus fumigatus AF210 genome sequencing
Dr. Denning strain collection at the University of Manchester, UK The <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> (<i>Neosartorya fumigata</i>) strain AF210 (NCPF 7101) was isolated as a hospital acquired infection from an intensive care unit in Manchester, UK  (Carlson et al., J Infect 1996;33:119). This and 5 other isolates, including an environmental strain from the same ICU, were shown to be identical. Experimental infection caused by AF210 responds to both amphotericin B and itraconazole, and has been used to validate susceptibility testing of azoles. It is more amenable to hygromycin-based transformation than AF293.
