Twenty‐five culture collection strains from four Aspergillus species (A. fumigatus n= 8, A.
flavus n= 8, A. niger n= 4, A. nidulans n= 5) were characterized by four methods:(i) …

Multiple genotyping studies have been carried out in order to clarify the epidemiology of
fungal infections, more specifically to determine the sources, transmission routes, and …

Rabbit anti-Aspergillus fumigatus, rabbit anti-Penicillium and sera from patients with
precipitating antibodies against A. fumigatus or Penicillium were analyzed by means of …

Invasive aspergillosis is often nosocomially acquired and carries a high mortality. Molecular
