The Molecular Identification and Antifungal Susceptibility of Clinical Isolates of Aspergillus Section Flavi from Three French Hospitals.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Aspergillus flavus is a cosmopolitan mold with medical, veterinary, and agronomic concerns. Its morphological similarity to other cryptic species of the Flavi section requires molecular identification techniques that are not routinely performed. For clinical isolates of Aspergillus section Flavi, we present the molecular identification, susceptibility to six antifungal agents, and clinical context of source patients. (2) Methods: One hundred forty fungal clinical isolates were included in the study. These isolates, recovered over a 15-year period (2001-2015), were identified based on their morphological characteristics as belonging to section Flavi. After the subculture, sequencing of a part of the β-tubulin and calmodulin genes was perfor
