Differentiation between isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus from breeding turkeys and their environment by genotyping with microsatellite markers.

چکیده
To elucidate the epidemiology of the different forms of avian aspergillosis, 114 Aspergillus fumigatus isolates from sacrificed turkeys and 134 A. fumigatus isolates from air samples were collected and genotyped by microsatellite polymorphism marker analysis. Air sampling confirmed the huge diversity of A. fumigatus populations. Whereas older animals harbored several combinations of genotypes, 1-day-old chicks carried a unique genotype, suggesting a unique source of contamination.

Global Population Genetic Analysis of Aspergillus fumigatus
Aspergillus fumigatus is a ubiquitous opportunistic fungal pathogen capable of causing invasive aspergillosis, a globally distributed disease with a mortality rate of up to 90% in high-risk populations. Effective control and prevention of this disease require a thorough understanding of its epidemiology. However, despite significant efforts, the global molecular epidemiology of A. fumigatus rem...
متن کاملGenotyping common SNP and a microsatellite sequence closely linked to waxy gene in rice by DNA based markers
The potential of different DNA based molecular markers was examined for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the waxy gene and a microsatellite (SSR) sequence closely linked to it in a collection of rice varieties. DNA was extracted from leaf samples of 68 different rice cultivars by the CTAB method and specific primers were designed for the amplification of waxy gene and SS...

Out of fifty-two Iranian nonaflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus, which were collected from various substrates (soil and kernel) and sources (peanut, corn and pistachio), fifteen representatives were selected according to their different geographical origins (six provinces: Guilan and Golestan, Ardebil, Fars, Kerman and Semnan) and vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs, IR1 to IR15) for ...
متن کاملConcomitant occurrence of itraconazole-resistant and -susceptible strains of Aspergillus fumigatus in routine cultures.
OBJECTIVES Resistance to triazoles in Aspergillus fumigatus has emerged in several countries and is usually mediated by mutations in the cyp51A gene. We determined the presence of both itraconazole-susceptible and -resistant A. fumigatus in routine cultures isolated from environmental and clinical samples. METHODS A total of 50 environmental and 16 clinical A. fumigatus isolates obtained from...
متن کاملMicrosatellite Genotyping of Candida parapsilosis Clinical Isolates
Background and Purpose: Candida parapsilosis is a predominant species found in nosocomial infection, particularly in hospitalized patients. The molecular epidemiology of the clinical strains of this species has not been well studied. The present study was performed with the aim of investigating the microsatellite genotyping of Candida parapsilosis among the Iranian clinical isolates. Materials...
