Biotyping of Candida strains with regard to the epidemiology of candidosis. A practical approach.

abstract：:Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a major opportunistic infection in haematology patients. Preventive measures are important to control IA because diagnosis is difficult and the outcome of treatment is poor. We prospectively examined the environmental contamination by Aspergillus and other fungal species and evaluated th...
