Fungal Genotyping – Current Clinical Application
HARUN, Azian
Abstract
The emergence of fungal species as opportunistic pathogens has warranted further studies
on their pathogenicity, epidemiology, and transmissibility. Fungal genotyping has been employed
to study the genetic relatedness within the organism, in order to obtain answers to epidemiological
questions (such as in outbreak confirmation) as well as to provide basis for the improvement for
patients care. Various fungal genotyping methods have been previously published, which can be
chosen depending on the intended use and the capability of individual laboratory.
