Example of AFLP analysis showing the discriminatory power as well as the ability to discriminate between isolates belonging to different species. The figure shows 16 fingerprints from A. fumigatus cultured from 16 IA patients (1 isolate per patient). Based on the differential presence or absence of one or more bands, all isolates can be discriminated from each other. One isolate with a clearly different fingerprint turned out to be N. fisheri. The dendrogram was calculated by UPGMA clustering using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The scale bar indicates the percentage similarity.
