density and molecular epidemiology of aspergillus in air and relationship to outbreaks of aspergillus infection.	after five patients were diagnosed with nosocomial invasive aspergillosis caused by aspergillus fumigatus and a. flavus, a 14-month surveillance program for pathogenic and nonpathogenic fungal conidia in the air within and outside the university hospital in rotterdam (the netherlands) was begun. a. fumigatus isolates obtained from the department of hematology were studied for genetic relatedness by randomly amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) analysis. this was repeated with a. fumigatus isolates c ...	1999	10325319
molecular epidemiology of apparent outbreak of invasive aspergillosis in a hematology ward.	during a 2-month period, five patients suffering from invasive infections caused by aspergillus flavus or aspergillus fumigatus were identified in the hematology department of the university hospital dijkzigt (rotterdam, the netherlands). to study the epidemiological aspects of invasive aspergillosis, strains from these patients and from the hospital environment, isolated during extensive microbiological screening, were subjected to genotyping. a novel dna extraction technique, involving freezin ...	1996	8789013
