Comparative genotyping and phenotyping of Aspergillus fumigatus isolates from humans, dogs and the environment.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recent scientific developments have shed more light on the importance of the host-microbe interaction, particularly in the gut. However, the mechanistic study of the host-microbe interplay is complicated by the intrinsic limitations in reaching the different areas of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in vivo....
