FIG. 1.

Results of both AFLP and STRAf typing on a collection of 55 clinical A. fumigatus isolates. The dendrogram on the left is based on the AFLP fingerprints. The indicator lines above the traces represent invariable bands, whereas the indicator lines below the traces represent variable bands in the AFLP fingerprints. After each fingerprint are the typing results for the nine markers of the STRAf panel. The dendrogram on the right is based on the STRAf results. Types were assigned arbitrarily, starting with the oldest isolate. The scale bars indicate the percentages of similarity. Sample numbers correspond to those in Table 1.
